Abstract
A method for determining a mass flow of bulk material in a conveyor line includes providing a conveyor line, continuously receiving bulk material, transporting the bulk material on the conveyor line, and discharging the bulk material at an end point of the conveyor line. The conveyor line includes an array of weighing cells having a plurality of weighing cells successive in a direction of transport.

Method for determining a mass flow of bulk material in a conveyor line, including the following steps:
- providing a conveyor line including an array of weighing cells consisting of a plurality of weighing cells successive in a direction of transport (ST1),
- continuously receiving bulk material,
- transporting the bulk material on the conveyor line in the direction of transport across the plurality of weighing cells,
- discharging the bulk material at an end point of the conveyor line (ST2),
- putting out measuring values of the individual weighing cells as a function of time (ST3),
- evaluating with comparisons of measuring values as a function of time and a position of the weighing cells in the direction of transport,
- determining a mass flow from the evaluation (ST5).
Transporting and measuring device for transporting and measuring a mass flow of bulk material, the transporting and measuring device comprising:
- a conveyor line adapted to transport bulk material as a mass flow (W) from at least one starting point in a direction of transport up to an end point,
- an array of weighing cells consisting of a plurality of weighing cells, arranged successively in the direction of transport, each detecting a mass load, and put this out as a measuring value as a function of time, an evaluation device adapted to evaluate the measuring values as a function of time and a position of the weighing cells in the direction of transport.
