Measuring the mass flow of wood chips or bark
The main advantage of Berthold's bulk flow meter when compared to conventional weighing systems, is that it does not need to be recalibrated, and provides reliable results over many years of operation. The system can be installed on all conveyor types, e.g. belt conveyors, drag chain conveyors, and screw conveyors. Adding a meter onto existing boiler feeding lines is very feasible.
