Optimise material flow, minimise waste

 

To guarantee consistent product quality, the precise dosing of raw materials is required. To achieve this, you need to accurately measure material flow. 

Belt weighers, also known as conveyor belt scales, are specialised instruments used to measure the flow rate and totalised weight of bulk materials in real-time as they move along conveyor belts.

Whether you work in aggregates, recycling, food production, or bulk materials handling, you can use this data to accurately monitor and control material flow across your process, enhancing inventory control and minimising raw material waste. 

This real-time data also allows you to optimise conveyor speeds and feeding rates to maximise throughput.

Why Choose Siemens Belt Weighers? 

 

When it comes to measuring material flow, especially in heavy industries, accuracy, durability and reliability are crucial. Milltronics belt scales from Siemens combine simple drop-in installation and low maintenance costs (no moving parts) with repeatabile high accuracy for productive operations. 

Siemens has more than 35 years of experience weighing bulk materials on conveyors. With various hazardous and trade approvals Milltronics belt scales are purpose built to be used in almost any industrial environment or application.  

It's unique parallelogram style load cells with 300% overload protection provides fast reaction to vertical forces and minimises the impact of uneven loading of fast-moving conveyor belts. With minimal hysteresis and maximum linearity, lateral forces have no influence on measuring accuracy. 

Low Maintenance Requirements

With no moving parts and a rugged design, these belt scales only require periodic inspections and routine callibrations. 

High Accuracy & Repeatability

Boasting best-in-class accuracy, belt weighers from Siemens offer accuracy up to ±0.5% from 20 - 100% operating range.

Simple Installation

Siemens belt weighers allow for drop-in installation without the need for lifting equipment or conveyor modifications.

Flexible Weighing Options

With graded load classes ranging from 3 kilograms to 500 tonnes, you will find the right load cell for your application.

Extra Functionality

Automatic zero and electronic span callibration. Supports PID control and on-line callibration with optional analog I/O card.

Robust Design

Siemens belt weighers are built for heavy industry as they boast high moisture & corrosion ressitance.

Seamless automation integration with Siemens SIMATIC or standalone versatility

 

Integrating Siemens belt weighers into your existing automation architecture is easier than you might think. 

Siemens belt weighers can be seamlessly integrated with S7-1200, S7-1500 or a S7 Classic PLC system using SIWAREX weighing modules, allowing for uniform configuration, parameterisation and diagnostics using TIA Portal or STEP 7. 

Alternatively, the SIWAREX WP241 can also be used a standalone module, enabling the Siemens Milltronics belt scales to be integrated with non-Siemens automation systems via Modbus TCP/IP or Modbus RTU.

For callibration and parameterisation with non-Siemens automation systems, you can use SIWATOOL software without needing any knowledge of Siemens PLC systems.
