Description
The PR436 Belt Weigher Indicator
connects with 1-4 strain gauge load cells
fitted to a belt weigher mechanism from
which it generates a calibrated weight
signal. It also connects with a proximity
switch, operating as a digital tacho, from
which it receives pulses in proportion to
belt movement. From these two inputs and
from calibration and control data held in its
system memory it continually calculates the
rate of flow of material over the belt and
the total quantity of material transferred.
Optionally, in applications where belt speed
variations are insignificant, the indicator
may operate from an internal tacho pulse
simulator.
