INTRODUCTION:
GENERAL INFORMATION:
Esit BS Belt Scale is a weighing system, which weighs flow quantity in terms of weight dependent to
time (ton/h, kg/sec) at the points, where it is compulsory to be known by the producer or the consumer
while it is on the belt, for the weight of the some bulk materials in the mining, fertilizer, iron-steel,
chemical, concrete and food industry, that can be conveyed on belt. Measuring the bulk material on
the belt, not only provides important information for the Corporation, but also saves time and labour.
Esit BS- Electronic Belt scales can be easily mounted to a suitable part on the current conveyor
systems of the users.
The system is composed of the weighing bridge where the weight information is received; the
tachometer sending the speed information, belt sensor and the indicator where these information are
monitored. While the conveyor belt is in operation, the weight of the good passing over the weighing
unit and the speed value of the belt are transmitted to the ECI-BS Control Terminal.
Operation of the belt scale is based on measuring and processing two basic magnitudes. One of them
is the speed and the other one is the weight. The flow rate of the good passing is found by processing
the weight information coming from load cells and the speed information from the belt speed sensors,
in the controller.
It is shown in the indicator as instant and total values in capacity (kg/sec) or (ton/h), belt speed
(m/sec).

INSTALLATION:
LOCATION SELECTION FOR THE BELT SCALES AND CODES OF
PRACTICE:
• The belt thickness and weight of the belt scale must be same along the belt.
• Belt scale bridge location must be selected in a location with the deflection on not
more than 1 mm under full load. The belt scale is not installed on the constructions
equipped with a sieve, breaker, vibro-feeder or device operating with vibration.
• When the material carried on the belt scale arrives to the effective measuring zone,
the material must be spread and placed completely. There must not be any material
flow, rolling on the measuring zone and the material must enter with a proper section.
• The material passing on the belt must be distributed homogenousy and there must be
no accumulation and gap.
Page 11
BS Belt Scale – User Manual
__________________________________________________________________________
• In V and triangular section belts, the scale bridge will be 3 or more rollers away from
the tile or head roller.
• Belt cutting angle (x) directly affects the weighing accuracy. Starting from 200 until
450, the accuracy is affected as ± 2% of its nominal capacity.
The ideal condition is the straight belt. While designing the belt, it must be taken care
that, this angle in the weighing belt group is minimum.
• Effective measuring zone is composed of the 3 entry rollers and 3 exit rollers at the
beginning and at the end of the scale bridge.
This area and the weighing bridge shall be completely manufactured 3 mm above the
other rollers.
The rollers in this area shall be at the same plane provided that the distance between
each other is not more than 10,2 mm.
• The point where the belt of the belt scale is stretched at most is the parts that are
near to the main drive drum. While selecting the belt scale, the furthest place from the
main drive drum is the most suitable place.
Page 12
BS Belt Scale – User Manual
__________________________________________________________________________
• The belt length must be minimum 6 metre and maximum 120 meter. The climbing
angle of the belt must be 180 or below. While selecting the location, angle-free belt
means less measuring mistakes.
• In single piece belts with two or more elevations, the bridge location selection can be
made by leaving 12 meters for the upwards bends and 6 meters fort he backwards
bends.
• The skirts of the side routers, if any, must be adjusted in a manner that they do not
contact with the weighing belt. The skirt, which is elevated too much, may affect
negatively and the material penetrating the gaps affects the weighing.

COMMISSIONING
• Mechanical and electrical installation is made.
• Conformity check of the partition ratio of the load cell is made for the belt scale.
Weighing bridge is tested and calibrated. Repeatability and corner test is performed.
• Actual capacity and speed is measured as the preliminary work. It compliance to the
request type is checked (Maximum Capacity- Ambient conditions- Minimum Capacity-
Homogeneity)
• Pulse counter (Encoder) settings are made. The speed is checked by keeping the
time and belt length.
• The belt is operated and zero belt tests are carried out.
• Material tests are made. After calculating the coefficient values, repeatability is tested
for three different flow rates, which are two pairs in maximum and minimum flow rates
and on paid in the medium flow rate.
• Output parameters are set.
ECI-BS Electronic conveyor belt scale system enables the weighing of bulk materials carried
by conveyor belts during the conveying process. The flow amount (capacity) is proportional
to the speed and the material on the belt.

• RS232/485 CONVERTER :
If RS-485 will be used for communication, a 232/485 converter, which ensures
compliance between the computers and device(s) will be used
NOTE: RS-485 communication is used for communicating with more than one device
on the same line. Furthermore, in case of long distance communication, RS-485 must
be made even if there is a single device. RS-232 is used for communications up to 50
meters and RS-485 is used for the communications with more than 50 meters.

Autozero feature can be enabled by setting the
“Auto Zero” parameter in “Initial Setup” menu or
in “Security Type” menu, “LegalForTrade” option is
choosen. Additionally the “AutoZero Interlock input”
has to be activated to validate the zeroing process.
Page 29

Auto zero process continues for 3 belt length period, meanwhile sign shown
permanently, if the measured weight value gets out of range, auto set proces gets cancelled.
At the end of Auto zeroing process, device waits for a period of belt once more, it is expected
to see that the measured weight value to measured under the%2 of the capacity, in the
meanwhile, sign blinks. When the proces is done, zero value on screen is updated. If
the measured weight value gets out of the range before a period of belt is completed, auto
zero proces gets cancelled.
Note: Auto zero value can be displayed on the screen. The Picture above shows the position.

TECHNICAL DATA:
WEIGHING BRIDGE:
It is the mechanical construction detecting the load on the belt and transmitting it to the load
cells.
Page 33
BS Bant ECI
It is the method of calculating the belt velocity by directly attaching a pulley with a certain
diameter to the conveyor belt and transmitting a full rotation of 360O as a signal, in other
word dividing the distance taken by the time lapsed. This data is directly sent to the
controller. Its structure is protected against dust, humidity and all external factors.

Belt scale is a sensitive measuring component and it runs with its environment.
Therefore a conveyor belt, which is applied belt scale will require a more careful
maintenance. This maintenance is essential for weighing performance.
DAILY MAINTENANCE:
• Note that the bet surface is clean and the belt drums are free of materials
sticking on them.
• Check that the tachometer wheel presses on the belt surface and rotates
synchronous with the belt.
