MTS Messtechnik Sauerland GmbH

Belt scales from MTS weigh exactly, are robust and solidly manufactured and available in numerous variants – suitable for belt widths from 400 mm and feed rates from 2 t/h, in legal-for-trade and non-legal-for-trade versions.

The experience of over 30 years has gone into the development of the MTS belt scale series EBW 10, EBW 20 and ESW 2.3. As a manufacturer, MTS MessTechnik also offers the possibility of adapting the belt scales for special requirements.

For example, belt scales in mobile screening and crushing plants are exposed to significantly higher loads than in stationary belt conveyors. The EBW 10-HD Mobile belt scale is especially designed for this mobile plants: a special, reinforced weighing frame with a robust load cell provides effective protection during operation and also during transport of the plant.

Use:

• In stationary belt conveyor
• In mobile screening and crushing plants
• For process control
• For inventory control
• For truck preloading
• For legal-for-trade weighings

Features:

• Extremely robust and corrosion resistant
• Load cells made of stainless steel with protection class IP 69K
• Load cells with transport and overload protection
• Low installation height
• Easy installation – retrofittable
• Can be used in almost every belt conveyor
• Low maintenance effort

The conveyor discharge weigher CDW is ideally suited for the continuous recording of small to medium throughput quantities from 200 to 5,000 kg/h. The scale is installed at the discharge point of a belt conveyor and collects the conveyed material in the hopper, where it is weighed.

This static weighing achieves a very high measuring accuracy of +/- 0.2%. The CDW is often used to determine the quantity of recycled metals or other valuable raw materials.

So, the CDW scale is an addition to classic built-in belt scales if these cannot be used due to the low feed rate, the bulk materials properties or the installation situation.

Use:

• Process control
• Batch processes

Features:

• Ideal for internal process control
• For free-flowing bulk materials
• Easy to integrate into the process route
• Installation at the discharge point of belt and conveyor systems
• Very good measuring accuracy
• For capacities up to max. 5 m³/h
• Low maintenance effort

The weighing of a pivoting apron conveyor and a movable container – these are two of many applications which a load cell proves its worth. In all cases, extreme robustness and stability, even against dynamic forces/ lateral forces, are required.

The extremely robust load cells LMB 490 are used for such heavy-duty applications. The load cell is firmly mounted without any horizontal or vertical movement. The LMB 490 can therefore be used especially in mobile installations.

Thus, weighing of apron conveyors and movable containers is possible – despite the very high loads and transverse loads occurring there.

Use:
Weighing of

• pivoting apron conveyors
• movable vessels/ containers
• charging machines
• special applications

Features:

• Extremely robust – even with dynamic forces / lateral forces
• Low installation height
• For heavy-duty applications
• For nominal loads from 40 to 200 t
• Easy installation due to plug-in connection
• Free from backlash installation – no movable parts

The VC 3500 and LCM 460 are weighing modules with a movable top plate and integrated lift-off protection. They are ideally used for continuous weight and quantity measurement in silos and vessels or for weighing of bunker systems with discharge activator.

The modules can be mounted directly between the bunker and substructure. Although, the special design of the module ensures optimal force transmission and high lift-off and lateral load safety – without additional steering and lashing mechanisms.

Use:

• Filling level and inventory control
• For bunkers – also with discharge activator
• For mixers and vessels with agitators
• Especially for outdoor applications
• For precise silo weighing

Features:

• Built-in module with integrated lift-off protection
• With precise double-ended shear beam load cell made of stainless steel
• For nominal loads from 2 to 200 t
• Expansions and inclinations are compensated
• Replacement of load cell without removing module
• Transport protection against shock loads
• LCM 460 in the version up to 20 t legal-for-trade according to OIML R60
