Belt Conveyor

Conveyor Belt Weigher Scales for Continuous, In-Motion Material Measurement

MacDev’s Conveyor Belt Weigher Scale Systems (MDBS Series) are high-precision, in-motion weighing solutions designed to measure the real-time flow rate and totalized weight of bulk materials traveling on conveyor belts of any length.

Engineered for rugged industrial environments, these belt weighers deliver stable, repeatable, and reliable performance without interrupting material flow, making them an economical and dependable solution for modern bulk material handling operations.

Why Choose MacDev Conveyor Belt Weighers?

Unlike static weighing systems, MacDev Conveyor Belt Weighers measure material directly on the moving conveyor. The system can be retrofitted on existing conveyors without structural modification, allowing accurate throughput monitoring with minimal downtime.

• True in-motion weighing without stopping the conveyor
• Retrofit installation on existing conveyor systems
• Accurate flow rate and totalized weight measurement
• Stable measurement using preceding and succeeding idlers
• Low maintenance, heavy-duty industrial design

Working Principle

The Conveyor Belt Weigher continuously measures the material load using high-precision strain gauge load cells mounted beneath the weighing idlers. Belt speed is monitored through a tachometer or speed sensor generating pulses across a wide operating range.

The weighing controller processes load and speed signals to calculate instantaneous flow rate and cumulative tonnage. Advanced signal conditioning compensates for belt variations and environmental influences, ensuring consistent and dependable results.
