Typical applications
Belt loading
The W-4510 Weigh Scale can measure the belt loading (weight per linear distance) of
product on the belt. This signal can combine in the DCS/PLC with the belt speed to calculate
the mass flow (weight per unit time). This is essential for blending operations, as in OSB or
MDF/particleboard application to match the amount of resin to the weight of wood present.
Loading rate
The W-4510 Weigh Scale can measure the loading rate of product on the belt. This uses a
tachometer directly connected to the W-4510 to measure the belt speed. The output signal
data calibrates directly to the mass flow units (weight per unit time).
