Function: They continuously measure material weight and flow, providing real-time data on output and total production without interrupting operations.
Design: Heavy-duty scales are built with durable, robust construction to withstand high loads and harsh environments. The platform in the image features a textured surface for durability and grip.
Technology: Many use electro-mechanical systems with load cells to measure the weight on the belt or platform.
Applications: They are commonly used in mines, quarries, processing facilities, and for truck or rail load-out sites.
Accuracy: Systems can range from high accuracy for custody transfer to more rugged and reliable options for inventory control, depending on the application requirements.
