Belt Weigh Feeder

Precision That Moves Tons with Confidence

MacDev’s Belt Weigh Feeder is engineered to do one job flawlessly — extract, weigh, and feed bulk material at an exact rate, continuously. Built for harsh industrial realities, it delivers dependable performance where flow accuracy directly impacts production cost, quality, and uptime.

Designed for continuous bulk proportioning, the system combines a rugged mechanical structure with intelligent weighing electronics. Once the target feed rate is set, the feeder automatically adapts to material load, bulk density variations, and operating conditions without operator intervention.

How the Belt Weigh Feeder Works

Material is extracted from a silo, hopper, or bin onto the feeder belt. High-precision load cells measure the belt load while a speed sensor tracks belt velocity. The controller continuously calculates the actual feed rate and adjusts belt speed in real time to match the required set point.

Whether the system experiences under-load, over-load, or changing bulk density, MacDev’s intelligent controller ensures stable output, reduced spillage, and predictable downstream processing.
