Belt Scales
Introduction
■ Overview
material load
Belt scales help maximize the use of raw materials, control in- belt travel
ventories, and aid in the manufacturing of a consistent product.
Milltronics belt scales from Siemens are easy to install, and re-
quire little maintenance. They produce repeatable, accurate re-
sults. These belt scales show minimal hysteresis and superior weighing
linearity, and ignore side loading. Load cell overload protection idler
is a feature of the belt scale design. With use of approved intrin-
belt scale
sically safe barrier strips, all belt scales can be used in hazard-
ous locations.

input in the form of electrical pulses from a belt speed sensor Installation Tips
connected to a tail or bend pulley. Using these two sources of
data, the integrator calculates the rate of material transferred 7 Position the scale
along the belt using the equation weight x speed = rate. Locate the scale close to the tail section of the conveyor belt
where tension is minimal and more consistent. Mount the scale
on rigid mountings, away from equipment that may produce
measurement disturbing vibrations. Avoid variable tension
points, transition points, or slope change. The ideal location is a
horizontal, even belt section, but you can achieve good results
on slopes if the idlers are properly aligned. If the conveyor
curves, locate the scale a proper distance from the tangent
points of the curve. For concave curved conveyors, the recom-
mended minimum distance is 12 m (40 ft) from the tangent
points of the curve. With convex conveyors, the minimum dis-
tance is 6 m (20 ft) on the approach side, and 12 m (40 ft) on the
retreat side. Be sure to install the scale a sufficient distance from
the infeed section (at least one idler space) so the material has
time to settle properly on the belt.
7 Reduce variable belt tension
With temperature variations, load, and other circumstances, the

belt tension will change. To maintain proper tension, a gravity
take-up is recommended. This is a weight designed to take up
slack on the belt. A gravity take-up should move freely and place
consistent tension on the belt. The use of screw take-ups should
be limited to conveyors with pulley centers to 18.3 m (60 ft) or
Belt scale operation less. The amount of weight should conform to the conveyor de-
sign specifications.
■ Mode of operation 7 Align the idlers

age from the electronic integrator, they produce an electrical sig- mm (1/32”). All of the scale-area idlers should be the same type

the speed sensor be properly mounted as described in the in-
struction manual and free of excessive vibration. Whenever pos-
sible, mount the speed sensor on a solid face pulley. The use of
wing- or beater-type pulleys is not recommended.
Wheel driven speed sensors, that are applied to the return
strand of the belt, should be located close to a return idler to en-
sure a stable drive surface.
7 Wire the scale
Follow good instrumentation wiring practices to protect the load

cell and speed sensor signals from radio frequency interference
and induction. Use terminal blocks, shielded cable, and
grounded metal conduit for all wiring.

the operator remaining external to the conveyor
7 Modular construction, easily adaptable to different conveyor Mechanical advantage 20:1
widths Number of revolutions required for 4
7 Low profile allowing easy fit into belt conveyor raising or lowering
7 Easy to install and apply Mounting dimensions See reverse for standard and
heavy-duty MUS and MSI/MMI
7 Easy to store drive handle that can be applied to left or right belt scales
side of MWL
Approvals The MWL is in compliance with
7 Security pin used to ensure safe storage of weight Directive 98/37/EC
7 Can be used with new and existing applications
■ Application
Milltronics MWL mechanically raises and lowers the static
weights and then stores the weights securely above the belt
scale calibration arms, and allows the operator to lower and ap-
ply them safely without having to lean into the conveyor. The
MWL is manually operated, and uses a high mechanical advan-
tage to enable weights up to 225 kg (500 lbs) to be applied with
very limited effort. The crank handle uses four rotations for full
range of motion, and can be removed and stored for safety with
the locking ball-pin which secures the MWL when it is not in use.
Two lifting pads support a base-bar weight above the test-
weight brackets of the belt scale: either flat bar or horseshoe
style calibration weights are applicable. Locating notches in the
base-bar weight engage the calibration weights securely on the
lifting pads in the stored position, and the worm gear drive locks
the lifting pads in place.
Installation is easy, just four bolt holes to drill after locating the
MWL gear modules (LH and RH) on the conveyor with respect to
the belt scale. After running the MWL empty to ensure proper
alignment, and then tightening mounting bolts, you are ready for
the loading of the test weights. This is the last time that they will
have to be lifted by hand.

■ Application
Milltronics RBSS monitors conveyor belt speed, with the output
signal transmitted by cable connection to the integrator.
Easily installed close to the belt scale assembly, the RBSS pro-
vides a signal generated as the wheel on the sensor rotates on
the return belt. To secure this cost-effective unit in place, position
a cross bar between stringers - either just before or after a return
belt idler, or use the optional mounting bracket. The weight of the
RBSS ensures positive rotation of the wheel in the middle of the
return belt, and pulses from the magnetic sensor are generated
by the rotation of the 60 toothed speed sprocket driven by the Siemens Milltronics
wheel. belt scale

Can also be mounted to motor shaft with rubber connector
per revolution using high precision dual optocouplers. The digi-
tal signal is transmitted as speed input to any Milltronics integra-
tor for calculation of belt speed, flow rate and totalized weight.
This high resolution speed sensor provides a frequency signal
proportional to the shaft speed, enabling low or varying shaft
speeds to be read accurately. The quadrature type circuitry in
the MD-36 non-IS models prevents erroneous speed signals due
to vibration or shaft oscillation.
The MD-36 is easily mounted and is bi-directional for either

Common Flowmeter Infeed Types
A solids flowmeter’s performance will be as repeatable and con-
sistent as the flow of material it is measuring. The following ar-
rangements are typical of pre-feed chute configurations used to
ensure consistent flow patterns. Arrangements will vary depend-
ing on the upstream equipment or chute work. Applications
should be reviewed by a Siemens solids flowmeter specialist to
achieve best results. During initial setup, use pre-weighing or
post-weighing of material samples to calibrate flowmeter and
verify accuracy using the material sample weights.

Solid Flowmeters
Milltronics E,V, and A Series
■ Overview ■ Application
With weighing mechanics located externally, the E, V, and
A Series solids flowmeters are unaffected by corrosive, abra-
sive, or hot materials. Handling a wide range of product sizes,
densities, and fluidities including fine powders such as cement,
they operate at process temperatures to +230 °C (+450 °F). The
flowmeters help to improve final product, increase operating ef-
ficiency, and realize significant cost savings.
Operating with the appropriate ILE sensing head and a micro-
processor-based integrator package, the E, V, and A Series flow-
meters provide a display of the flow rate, totalized flow, and
alarms. Outputs are 0/4-20 mA proportional to rate, and open 2
collector output for remote totalization.
Dry bulk solids enter the flow guide producing a mechanical de-
flection as they strike the flowmeter sensing plate before con-
tinuing through the process unhindered. The LVDT in the sens-
ing head converts the deflection of the horizontal force into an
electrical signal. The integrator processes this signal into a dis-
play of flowrate and integrated total weight. The weighing pro-
cess is immune to the effect of product build-up as only the

■ Overview ■ Benefits
7 Easy installation with modular assembly
7 ± 1% accuracy (or better) with high repeatability
7 Totally enclosed, dust-tight, flow metering of bulk solids
7 Sensing mechanism is outside the process, protected from
contamination
7 No zero drift, due to unique sensing mechanism
7 Low maintenance; only the sensing plate is in the process
7 No restriction of product flow
■ Application 2
Milltronics ILE-37 and ILE-61 Sensing Heads are used in appli-
cations such as product ratioing, batch load-out, and process
feed rate control, the ILE series of sensing heads has been field-
proven in thousands of applications with some units providing
over a quarter century of reliable performance.
The ILE sensing heads use only the horizontal force created by
Milltronics ILE-37 and ILE-61 Sensing Heads are out-of-the-pro- impact of product upon the sensing plate and then apply the
cess sensing elements for series E, V, and A solids flowmeters. horizontal deflection to a highly reliable Linear Variable Differen-
tial Transformer (LVDT).
Friction-less pivots exclude the vertical force from the sensing
process and the LVDT travel range is controlled by a coil spring
selected for the specified full-scale flow rate. A viscous fluid
damper provides mechanical damping in the event of pulsating
flows.
The LVDT converts the horizontal movement, proportional to the
impact forces into an electrical signal, which is converted by the
integrator to time-based flow rate indication and totalling. This
method of sensing material flow has been proven best in thou-
sands of applications all over the world.

Milltronics BW500
Milltronics BW500 operates with any belt scale with up to four
strain gauge load cells. It processes belt load and speed signals
for accurate flow rate and totalized weight of bulk solids. The
BW500 can take on lower level control functions traditionally
handled by other devices, and it supports popular industrial
communication buses. Its patented load cell balance function
eliminates matching of load cells.
The PID function may be used for rate control on shearing weigh-
feeders - where belt loading is constant - but can also control
pre-feeding devices. Operating in tandem with two or more
2 weighfeeders, the BW500 may be used for ratio blending and
controlling additives. Batching, load out, and alarm functions are
also provided by the BW500.
Dolphin Plus software may be used for programming the unit on
a PC.
Milltronics BW500 is a full feature integrator for use with both belt
scales and weighfeeders.

Milltronics SF500
Milltronics SF500 operates with any solids flowmeter with up to
two strain gauge load cells or LVDT sensor. The SF500 pro-
cesses sensor signals for accurate flow rate and totalized weight
of bulk solids. It can take on lower level control functions tradi-
tionally handled by other devices, and it supports popular indus-
trial communication buses. Its patented load cell balance func-
tion eliminates matching of load cells.
The PID function may be used for rate control of pre-feeding de-
vices and/or control of additives with two internal PID controllers.
Operating in tandem with two or more solids flowmeters or
2 weighfeeders, the SF500 may be used for ratio blending and
controlling additives. Batching, load out, and alarm functions are
also provided by the SF500.
Dolphin Plus software may be used for programming the unit
with a PC.
Milltronics SF500 is a full feature integrator for use with solids

flowmeters.
■ Benefits
7 Automatic zero and electronic span calibration
7 Alarms for rate or diagnostic error
7 On-board Modbus®, optional PROFIBUS DP,
Allen-Bradley® RIO and DeviceNet™
7 On-line calibration and dual PID control with optional analog
I/O card
7 Multi-point linearizer for high turn down accuracy
7 Up to 8 multi-spans for application of more than one flow con-
dition and/or material
7 Moisture meter input with optional analog I/O card for calcula-
tion of dry weight
