Installation Location - Siemens MCS Belt Manual Del Usuario

Installation Location

The ideal placement of the Siemens Milltronics belt scale depends on the conveyor
system. This section provides guidelines to determine MCS placement.
Mobile Crushers
The MCS is installed on mobile crushers because of its durability and low profile. A belt
scale can be used effectively in a conveyor of this type, but it requires special
consideration.
Recommendation:
using the MCS with mobile crushers.
Control Gates
Ensure steady and uniform material loading to the belt at or near the same
Note:
speed as the conveyor belt. The installation of a material feed control gate or similar
device improves uniform flow of material.
Conveyor Belting
Variations in the number of belt plies, the cover thickness, and the type and number of
splices in a given belt can cause considerable change in the weight per unit length of the
belt. During the course of zero calibrations, belt scales average the weight of the belt over
one complete circuit of the belt. Large deviations from the average adversely affect zero
calibrations.
