to the weighing station.

6. WHERE TO INSTALL THE SMART BELT SCALE
1) The smart belt scale must be installed on a straight part of the conveyor.
2) To obtain accurate measurements, do not mount the weighing station in the

following zones :
C1
C2
B2 B1 B2
A1 A2
C
A B
A : Loading zone : The loading zone length includes the material area (A1) + 5
times the belt length covered in 1 second at the maximum belt speed (A2).
B : Transfer zone : The transfer zone is the curved zone between the horizontal
and inclined belt (or vice versa). The transfer zone length includes the length of
the curved zone (B1) + a safety margin (B2) corresponding to 2 of 3 idlers in
straight areas of the conveyor.
C : Unloading zone : The unloading zone length includes the length of the belt
where the through flattens out to go around the drum (i.e. the area where the
through angle is reduced) (C1) + 2 to 3 preceding idlers (C2).
D : Areas subject to excessive vibrations.
page 6/33 SBS.940.001-E.c

3) Influence zone The influence zone of the weigh idler includes two idler
stations upstream and downstream from the weigh idler.

conveyor

In order to guarantee constant Maximum of 0.2 mm
alignment, check the eccentricity of comparator radial deviation
the weighbridge idlers. Their radial for one rotation
deviation must be less than 0,2 mm of the idler.

5) Conveyor rigidity
In the influence zone, the conveyor frame must be rigid and have a solid foundation
(no risk of sinking). If necessary, reinforce the frame.
6) Belt tension
The belt scale accuracy is influenced by changes in the belt tension. Make sure that
the conveyor in which the belt scale is installed has a constant belt tension device.
i.e. gravity take-up or similar.
7) Speed sensor
The most favourable contact zone for the speed friction wheel is shown on the
drawing below.
f the speed wheel does not remain in contact with the belt, weigh down the wheel
arm. Use the two 10 mm holes for this purpose. Maximum weight : 1 kg

SBS.940.001-E.c page 9/33

8. INSTALLATION OF SINGLE IDLER BELT SCALE
After having chosen a good location for installing the belt scale in accordance with the
chapter 6, carry out the following installation procedure :
1) Slacken the belt
2) Select the idler station which is to be used as the weigh idler station. Measure the
distance between the up and downstream idlers which will be the future weighbridge
limiting idlers. The weighbridge length (WB) is usually 1.6, 2 or 2.4 m.

Upstream idler Weigh idler Downstream idler
3) Raise the up and downstream idler station by 4 mm using shims (not supplied by
Hasler International). Fasten these two idlers to the conveyor and check that they
remain perpendicular and parallel to the conveyor girders (weld if necessary).

4 mm
page 10/33 SBS.940.001-E.c

4) Loosen the belt and use wooden wedges (about 100 mm) to prop it up as shown.
5) Remove the idler station (which will be used as weigh idler) from the conveyor.
6) If the idler station height SH is < 145 mm see chapter 11.
To prevent contact between the weigh idler station and conveyor girders, modify this
idler station by mill-cutting a passage (see "A") or by cutting out a section at the end
(see "B").

If not possible see chapter 12.
7) Adjust the smart belt scale to the conveyor width.
8) Fasten the speed sensor loosely to the cross beam on the opposite side of the load
cell.
SBS.940.001-E.c page 11/33

9) Plan how to fasten the weigh idler to the yellow supports.
a) By screws (M8)
b) By clamps
c) By welding
If a) : for load cell of 60 kg or 120 kg drill 10 mm holes, 321 mm centered, as
shown; for load cell of 300 kg capacity this distance is 399 mm.

If c) : prepare for welding : earth the weigh station idler to prevent that electric
current destroys the load cell.
10) Place the smart belt scale (without its weigh idler) on the conveyor girders. Center
the weighing station supports exactly between the up and down stream idler stations
(the axes of the three idler stations which form the weighbridge must be
perpendicular to the conveyor girders). The load cell should be located downstream
(as the belt travels) from the weighing idler.

9. DOUBLE OR MULTI-IDLER SBS
Several smart belt scales can be used as a multi-idlers belt scale.
Place the smart belt scales into the conveyor according to the chapter 10.
Only the first smart belt scale is equiped with the speed friction wheel.
Connect the smart belt scales to each other using the specific cable.
SBS.940.001-E.c page 17/33

10. INSTALLATION OF DOUBLE OR MULTI-IDLER
BELT SCALE
The explanation below is given for a double idler SBS, it is the same for a multi-idler
SBS.The idler stations are represented closer and the shims bigger than in reality for
better comprehension.
After having chosen an appropriate location for installing the belt scales, carry out the
following procedure :
1) Slacken the belt.
2) Select the idlers stations which are to be used as the weigh idler stations. Measure
the distance between the internal up and downstream idler stations. The
weighbridge length (WB) is usually 2,4 m, 3 m or 3,6 m.

12. MOUNTING INSTRUCTIONS FOR OTHER TYPES
OF WEIGHING STATIONS
If the outer edges of the idler station cannot be modified as described in point 8.6/10.6,
as is the case in the following example, proceed as follows.
Use 5 mm wedges to raise the three idler stations forming the weighbridge as well as
the two adjacent stations up and downstream from the weighbridge. A total of 5 shims
as shown below.

13. MOUNTING INSTRUCTIONS FOR OTHER
CONVEYORS
The smart belt scale can be mounted in most conveyors; no special additional parts or
instructions are required as long as the top of the conveyor chassis has a flat profile.
This is the case for 60 to 70 % of all commercially available conveyors. Other types of
conveyor chassis are formed of tubes or have a rigit outer shell.
Mount them as shown below :
