MATERIAL HANDLING APPLICATION The new belt scale is suited for dry bulk applications producing up to 3 000 t/h
American bulk materials processing and handling systems manufacturer and supplier Superior Industries last month launched a belt scale for dry bulk materials handling applications.
The new scale has a flush-mount design that makes it possible for owners and operators to avoid having to cut or torch their conveyor frames for installation.
Superior says the scale can be installed without interfering with the existing conveyor frame. The installation process is further simplified by a sturdy weighbridge, with wobbling or tipping also prevented to make installation easier.
Superior says its integrator – constructed with a large, colour display – is designed with an easy-to-operate setup and adjustment wizard. The standard model integrator includes an on-board wireless communication system, two independent serial outputs for optional printer and/or scoreboard display, and a battery backup feature.
In addition, the integrator is equipped with self-diagnostic capabilities for operators to view setup parameters, load cell signals, speed sensor frequencies, angle sensor readings and calibration specifications.
The new scale, which uses a modular design, fits into belt widths of between 18" and 72".
The scale is suited for dry bulk applications producing up to 3 000 t/h.
Superior Industries engineers and manufactures bulk materials processing and handling equipment and components from its headquarters in Morris, Minnesota, US. The company supplies bulk crushing, screening, washing and conveying systems to industries including construction aggregates, mining, bulk terminals, agriculture, power and biomass. In addition to its home plant in Minnesota, Superior operates additional engineering and manufacturing centres in Arizona, Georgia, Illinois, Michigan and Nebraska, all in the US. The company also operates in Alberta and New Brunswick, in Canada; and also has three production facilities in Brazil.
