Ramsey Series 17 Belt Scale System

Accurate conveyor weighing of bulk materials

The Ramsey Series 17 Belt Scale System from Thermo Electron Corporation combines the time-proven reliability of the Ramsey 10-17 Weighbridge and the Ramsey 60-12 Belt Speed Sensor with the power and versatility of the advanced electronics in the Ramsey Micro-Tech 2000 and Ramsey Micro-Tech 3000 series of electronic integrators. The long weighbridge design of the Ramsey Series 17 allows this model to be offered as a highly accurate 0.25% scale system. The longer weighbridge permits more scale-borne time, which minimizes alignment errors. This translates into better accuracy.

This belt scale system is available in two or four idler versions. For more information about the Ramsey Micro-Tech series of electronic integrators, please refer to catalog PI8011.0703. Applications The Ramsey Series 17 Belt Scale System is designed for plant and process operations that run at higher rates of speed or require better-than-normal belt scale accuracy. The system can monitor production output, control product loadout, and keep track of inventory while providing vital information for the effective management and efcient operation of your business.

Four Idler Ramsey 10-17 Weighbridge Ramsey Micro-Tech 2001 Field Mount Unit Belt Speed Sensor

The Weighbridge The Ramsey Series 17 Belt Scale System from Thermo Electron incorporates the low deection, rm and strong Ramsey 10-17 Weighbridge. It is available in all belt widths and idler spacings. The Belt Speed Sensor Thermos Ramsey 60-12 Digital Belt Speed Sensor is the most reliable and accurate speed-sensing device ever developed for belt scale service. Direct-coupling the sensor to the conveyor tail pulley, snubbing roll, or a large diameter return roller ensures an accurate belt-travel readout. No wheels ride on the belt, which eliminates problems related to material build-up and slippage. Weighbridge Advantages Frictionless, trunnion-type sealed pivots are completely impervious to vibration, moisture and material accumulations Long weigh span minimizes belt affects (four idler standard; two idler optional) Rigid mechanical tube construction Two super-precision strain gauge load cells mounted in tension for stability and fewer misalignment errors Total deection of idler(s) less than 0.127 mm (0.005 in) Slim prole to minimize material build-up problems Fits any standard conveyor with no space required above belt line

Belt Speed Sensor Advantages Rugged, cast-aluminum housing suitable for outdoor installations A.C. pulse generator means no brushes to adjust or replace Performance Guarantee On factory-approved installations, we warrant that the Ramsey Series 17 Belt Scale System will weigh and totalize to a value within 0.25% of the test value when calibrated against a known test weight, chain, or Thermos standard electronic calibration.
