Volume measurement of coal belt conveyor line

Because the weight of some materials is greatly affected by temperature and humidity, such as coal and ore, simply using the weighing system can not accurately grasp the quantity of raw materials.


For example: thermal power plant coal usage monitoring and dust removal system flow monitoring, railway transportation or port unloading cargo bulk material flow calculation, gravel machine loading.


Using a ST20A installed above the belt conveyor line, the laser scanner can obtain the two-dimensional contour of the material (single section) in a single scan. When the belt conveyor line is in operation, the scanner scans continuously, and combined with the information of the conveyor line speed (generally available through the encoder), the volume of coal transported can be calculated.
