Abstract
A weighing device for a bulk material conveyor, of the type that is included in the output of a tube for conveying a flow of bulk material, the device conducting the flow through the output and weighing in real time the amount of bulk material passing through the device, with the device comprising a load cell that is connected between a stationary plate and a movable plate, and a rotation sensor that records the revolutions of a rotating reference device that rotates under the effect of the flow of the bulk material passing through the weighing device.
Claims16
A weighing device for a bulk material conveyor, the weighing device being arranged in a location where bulk material is flowing and being connected to a data processing circuit, and wherein the weighing device comprises:
- a bottom plate stationary relative to said bulk material conveyor,
- an upper movable plate in said location whereby the bulk material flows on the upper movable plate,
- at least one load cell connected to said bottom plate and to said upper movable plate,
- a sensor member operatively connected to the rotating reference member in contact with said flow of bulk material, and
- wherein said data processing circuit is operatively connected to said at least one load cell and to said sensor member of said rotating reference member.
