Archweigh Belt Scale
The Accuracy of any in-motion weighing system requires that it be able to compensate for the force
generated by the radial motion of the idler. This force is a result of the movement of the material
passing over the scale, not the weight of the material itself. If it isn't compensated for, it will
be interpreted by the scale as additional material, resulting in an error in the weight scale reports.
Some manufacturers will try to minimize the effects of these forces by calibrating the scale while the
belt is running, so the force is factored into the scale's setup. However, as components within the
conveyor wear, the force on the scale changes, making frequent recalibration a necessity. The Archweigh
scale, through its dual ended load cells, is able to measure this force and eliminate it from the total
weight the scale displays. The result is a more accurate weight, without the need for constant recalibration.
