Continuous scale

The continuous scale is often also referred to as a bulk scale or hopper scale and is suitable for the automatic weighing of free-flowing, non-caking bulk materials (e.g. heavy grain, sugar, etc.). The continuous scale is used for receiving and loading as well as for mixing and dosing in production. In addition, it is also used as a process checkweigher for internal measurements and for checking filling quantities. In the agricultural industry, for example, continuous scales are used to weigh grain when it is loaded onto trucks or ships. Due to the large capacity of ships, the checkweigher here is often designed as a duplex scale (two identical bulk scales in one housing). With a capacity of up to 1,000 t/h, loading is faster and thus more cost-effective. Docking costs at ports are very expensive.

For decades, BITZER Wiegetechnik GmbH has been intensively engaged in the with the construction, pro-duction and sales of scale systems and therefore also the Conveyor scale is part of the prod-uct range of the Hildesheim scale specialist. The continuous scale consists of an inlet with pneumatic shut-off flaps and a weighing container with load cells and pneumatic shut-off and bottom discharge flaps. With the automatic weighfeeders (SWT function), the total quantity is determined by adding up the individual pours. The corresponding loading program automatically carries out the individual the appropriate loading program automatically carries out individual pours until the specified total quantity has been reached. Pre- and secondary hoppers for the continuous weigher can also be supplied as an option.
