Measuring the mass flow of wood chips or bark
The main advantage compared to conventional weighing systems is that the radiometric belt weigher does not need to be recalibrated and provides reliable results during many years of operation. The system can be installed on on all conveyor types, e.g. belt conveyors, drag chain conveyors and screw conveyors. Installations on existing boiler feeding lines are easily feasible.
Typical measurement arrangement on a screw conveyor.
Radiometric belt weigher measures the mass flow without contact. The results are stable over many years and frequent recalibrations are not necessary.
