Conveyor belt scales include nuclear belt scales, laser belt scales, and electronic belt scales. However, due to the limitations of the first two types of belt scales, electronic belt scales are currently widely used, and when users choose, they generally refer to electronic conveyor belt scales.
Electronic conveyor belt scales include a scale frame structure, weighing sensors, speed sensors, and weighing instruments. Some belt scales may have a matching upper computer software system. Due to different working conditions and requirements, the requirements for conveyor belt scales also vary, making it difficult for many users to choose. To choose a suitable conveyor belt scale, the main considerations are actual needs, product technical specifications, and the manufacturer's qualifications and strength.
1. Determine actual needs
Firstly, before choosing a conveyor belt scale, it is necessary to clarify the actual needs, including the actual working conditions and environmental conditions of the production site, the required accuracy and functionality, and one's own budget. Users should determine the on-site production capacity, hourly transportation volume, and maximum material flow rate, which determine the range of the weighing sensor;
Material characteristics, including material name, adhesion, moisture content, etc., determine whether belt scales can be used and whether additional cleaning devices are required;
The conditions of a belt conveyor, including belt speed, belt width, conveyor length, and conveyor inclination angle, directly determine the size of the belt scale frame structure and affect the type of frame structure;
The requirements for accuracy and functionality, as well as the on-site working environment (electromagnetic interference, large mechanical equipment, etc.), affect the selection of belt scale structure, whether data transmission, remote query and other functions are needed, whether the belt scale needs to be configured with a data substation and upper computer software system, and whether the belt scale structure selection is affected.
After clarifying the requirements and working conditions, it is also necessary to combine with one's own budget. The higher the accuracy, the higher the price, which is beyond doubt. Users should demand precision based on their actual situation, not necessarily blindly pursuing high precision. They should choose products within the budget range while meeting the requirements of working conditions, environment, and precision.
2. Check the product specifications of the belt scale
After determining their own needs, users provide parameters to the conveyor belt scale manufacturer, and the manufacturer arranges personnel to understand the on-site working conditions and develop specific plans. Users should pay attention to checking the product specifications of the conveyor belt scale. Such as the structure of the belt scale frame, the number of weighing sensors, the accuracy that can be achieved, and the technical functions of the belt scale (tension automatic compensation, temperature compensation, automatic peeling, calibration method, data communication, etc.). Belt scales with more technical functions will have better stability and operability in subsequent applications.
3. Assess the manufacturer's strength and qualifications
Regarding the strength of the conveyor belt scale manufacturer, users need to understand whether the manufacturer has a research and development factory, whether they have some industry qualifications (such as patent certificates, measurement certification certificates, etc.), and whether they have complete pre-sales and after-sales services.
Of course, users may not necessarily pursue so-called big brands or imported products, which often have higher prices and may not be able to respond promptly to after-sales service. When replacing parts in the future, it often requires a longer cycle.
Guonuo Technology has rich experience in serving conveyor belt scales in various industries. The developed belt scales include medium to high and low series, and it has its own production factory. It can provide users with comprehensive pre-sales solutions and timely after-sales installation, commissioning, and maintenance services.
