Abstract
The invention relates to a device for continuously weighing powdered media in a tank, particularly paint powder in a storage tank, comprising a weighing unit having a measurement field on which a compressive force can be exerted, and by which an output signal representing the compressive force exerted on the measurement field can be generated. A guiding device allows forced motion of the tank having a vertical directional component. The tank can further be coupled to the weighing unit by forces by means of a coupling device, so that a compressive force that is dependent on the weight of the tank acts on the measurement field of the weighing unit when the tank is coupled to the weighing unit.
Claims19
A device for continuously weighing powdered media in a tank, particularly paint powder in a storage tank, having a weighing unit, which has a measuring field on which a compressive force can be exerted and by means of which an output signal representing the compressive force exerted on the measuring field may be generated,
- wherein the device comprises:
- a) a guide device, which enables a positively driven movement of the tank with a vertical directional component;
- b) a coupling device, by means of which the tank may be coupled in terms of force to the weighing unit so that a compressive force which is dependent on a weight force of the tank acts on the measuring field of the weighing unit when the tank is coupled to the weighing unit.
