Optical Belt Scale Electronic Bulk Material Measurement System
Exclusive Importer & Engineering Partner in Israel: S.F.I. Engineering & Conveying Ltd.
An outstanding, highly precise electronic measuring solution for bulk materials. The system measures the actual volume of the material on the discharge belt utilizing a non-contact, high-speed electro-optical laser sensor. The recorded data is transmitted in real-time directly to operator smartphones and synchronized with selected office computer networks for seamless inventory control and tracking.
Core Engineering & Operational Benefits:
· Non-contact measurement system eliminates wear, tear, and frequent recalibrations associated with mechanical scale idlers.
· Extremely accurate volume and calculated mass measurement, completely unaffected by belt tension or wind.
· Real-time wireless data transmission delivers production metrics directly to smartphones and ERP computer systems.
· Rapid installation over the conveyor belt with no structural modifications or belt cutting required.
· Highly resistant to harsh environmental conditions, including heavy dust, rain, wind, and vibration.
Expanded End-Use Industrial Applications:
Application 1: Quarry & Sand Pit Production Tracking
Quarry managers need real-time, accurate data on daily production volumes to optimize logistics and prevent theft. Mechanical belt scales are highly sensitive to dust buildup, wind pressure, and belt tension, requiring weekly recalibration. S.F.I.'s Optical Belt Scale sits above the belt, measuring material volume with a laser without touching the belt. It provides rock-solid, calibration-free production data sent directly to the manager's phone.
Application 2: Maritime Bulk Terminal Loading Rates
Loading cargo ships with bulk materials (coal, clinker, fertilizers) requires maintaining a precise and high flow rate. Overloading causes conveyor structural failure, while underloading increases expensive port docking fees. The Optical Belt Scale monitors the conveying volume in real-time, allowing operators to adjust feeding machinery instantly to achieve the perfect loading rate.
Application 3: Asphalt & Concrete Continuous Mixing Control
Continuous asphalt and concrete production requires exact proportional blending of gravel, sand, and cement. Even minor feed rate variations degrade the final product quality. The optical scale provides ultra-fast volumetric tracking of the aggregate feed belts, allowing the automated control system to make micro-adjustments to the mix in real-time, guaranteeing perfect batch consistency.
