  • Page 4 Much of the world estimates the main resistances with a single overall friction factor, based on history, though each of the main resistances is affected differently by the specific material, design and construction details. The Conveyor Equipment Manufacturers Association (CEMA) has long recognized the individual impact of various parts and configurations and include a set of power prediction equations addressing each in its “Belt Conveyors for Bulk Materials,”...
  • Page 5 Belt Scale Installation The Weigh Shark kW belt scale uses the power draw of the conveyor drive motor to calculate the amount of material that is flowing over the conveyor. The integrator works in conjunction with a power meter to measure the power usage of the conveyor. This document covers the basic setup of the kW belt scale.

  • Page 11 IMPORTANT Calibration Options With the kW electric scale, you have two (2) options for the SPAN calibration process. 1. MATERIAL TEST: This is the preferred method since you are either running a known amount of material over the scale or you are catching material and weighing it over a legal for trade scale.
  • Page 12 Span Calibration The Span Calibration is used to calibrate STEP 2: – the integrator to accumulate the correct weight based on a known amount of material passing over the conveyor. This step will require a known amount of weight to either be run over the conveyor or caught into a truck or loader that can be weighed.
