Tecweigh – Precision In Mobile Measurement
JAY MADGETT, Director of Techweigh reports on the integration of belt scales into mobile crushers.
NO longer is it complex and expensive to integrate belt scales into mobile crushers. Tecweigh’s dexterity in manufacturing customised and innovative equipment has more recently developed belt weighing scales to complement the rough environments imposed by mobile crushers.
Tecweigh offer a suite of belt scales ensuring the right fit for each mobile crusher; not improvised bulky modifications. Tecweigh belt scales are specialist and will suit the most popular crushers, including Extec, Striker, Komatsu and Hitachi.
Tecweigh designs are compact, yet robust. Mobile crushers offer only marginal clearance between the output section and the return conveyor compared to a fixed plant conveyor. There is a limited and confined space in which to install a solidly constructed belt scale, and options for mounting the scale vary with each mobile crusher design. The Tecweigh mobile scale range is designed and built for the mobile crusher where it will labour intensively and efficiently for a decade long tenure.
Tecweigh continues to cultivate a collection of proven designs, working with manufacturers, contract hirers and crusher owners to add new models to their range.
Belt scales on mobiles are required to be fitted within only a few metres of the crusher, unavoidably enduring extreme vibrations; the deficiency of all weighing systems. The belt scale is typically mounted on a very short conveyor at a steep angle – Tecweigh ensure the ultimate mechanical design, construction and paramount process to overcome these factors, resulting in precision – accurate and reliable weighing.
Quarries and mine sites, concrete and stone crushing, recycling, and the like, all rely on the precision of Tecweigh weightometer equipment. Customers include the Barro Group, Fulton Hogan, Mawsons (Lake Cooper ) and Sandvik just to name a few.
CALIBRATION
An accurate belt scale is an instrument which is the exact-opposite to the unyielding environment where it is installed; a highly intelligent and sensitive device.
Belt scales operate by combining physical pressure with belt movement. The scale has to be able to withstand but ignore dust, falling rocks, belt movement and the vibration that is always present in crushing situations. To eliminate inaccurate measure and enhance long term reliability, Tecweigh mobile belt scales feature the same tough, fully welded construction appreciated in their fixed plant scales.
The scales are manufactured using the latest technology which provides the finest possible tolerances resulting in unprecedented accuracy.
The Tecweigh mobile belt scale is also supplied with calibration weights which can be loaded onto the weigh frame to check accuracy at anytime. Continuous accuracy is the signature of a Tecweigh belt scale. If recalibration is required, this is uncomplicated, by pressing only 2 buttons.
The Tecweigh WP20 electronic processor, widely regarded as the most simple to operate and easy to use and understand, is fitted with shockproof mounting as standard for mobile applications.
Additional cable protection and rugged electronics combine to ensure that reliable rate measurement is guaranteed over the long term, even in the most demanding physical environment.
Tecweigh and its agents and distributors throughout Australia and New Zealand specialise in installing conveyor belt scales in both fixed and mobile plants.
PROCESSORS
Tecweigh’s family of weight processors utilises state-of-the-art digital technology offering many time and labour saving features.
The Tecweigh WP20 Totalling Weight Processor with an abrasion, chemical
and humidity resistant faceplate and user friendly controls includes features such as full-time diagnostic, adjustable dampening and automatic calibration. Long time Tecweigh customers can easily update existing scales and weigh belt feeders with a simple to install processor upgrade kit.
All Tecweigh processors can be located up to 4000 feet away from your Tecweigh conveyor belt scale or weigh belt feeder.
