Belt-Way inline conveyor scales are used to measure raw materials during the steel production process. Limestone and Iron Ore can be weighed as they are mixed in a Sinter Plant. Different grades of Coal must be accurately measured as they are added to a coke oven. The proportions must be correct for the type of steel being manufactured. Belt scales are also used to measure recycled scrap metal as it is fed into a furnace to be made into new products.

Slag is a common byproduct of steel production. Belt-Way belt scales are widely used to measure slag as it is moved from the steel mill and processed for use in construction materials such as Portland Cement.

Steel mills typically operate 24 hours per day and must avoid costly downtime. Belt-Way belt scales are well suited for use in steel production because they don’t require constant calibration or maintenance.

Belt-Way scales patented free-floating modular load cell design allows for easy weigh bridge expansion while reducing the need for constant re-calibration and maintaining high accuracy.

Fracking is a process used to extract natural gas and/or oil from shale deposits below the earth’s surface using hydraulic fracturing. These deposits were previously unreachable, but due to technical advancement in drilling processes, they can be reached with the process commonly called fracking.

In the last few years, sand and gravel production has become increasingly more popular largely due to the production of frack sand. Frack sand is like most other sands in the respect that it allows fluids to pass through it. Frack sand’s almost perfectly round shape makes it unique compared to traditional sand that has more uneven sides. The round shape gives the frack sand unique application qualities, as it is able to withstand higher pressures when forced into the earth at great depths.

Belt-Way conveyor belt scales are used extensively in the fracking industry because frack sand has become a greatly sourced commodity needed in the process. Belt-Way scales are used at sand plants to measure and track production rates and total sand produced.

Belt-Way Scales are used on rail load-out systems to load trains that will transport frack sand to job sites. It is important to use Belt-Way Scales to load rail cars accurately and maximize the payload without overloading or under-loading the rail car, causing delays and fines. At the rail terminal, rail cars are offloaded using portable conveyors equipped with Belt-Way conveyor belt scales. These conveyors load the sand directly into trucks that transport the material to the job site. Our belt conveyor scales are used on these conveyors to make sure trucks are not overloaded and to double-check the rail car load manifest for discrepancies. Job sites also use Belt-Way conveyor belt scales to offload the trucks at the customer site for verification on total tons received.

Belt-Way Scales are widely used in various forestry and wood processing operations.

It is important for a paper mill to track the amount of waste produced in the debarking process and monitor the raw wood chips as they enter the plant. Loadout of processed wood materials requires belt scales to ensure trucks or rail cars are not underloaded or overloaded.

Recycling of wood and green waste is a growing industry. Belt Scales allow contractors to charge by the weight of material processed instead of by hours worked. Belt scales can protect contractors and customers from profit loss and litigation by offering a simple method to track production totals.

Care must be taken when sizing a belt scale for a wood processing application. The volume and weight of the material may be low. Sometimes the belt speed must be slowed to maximize the material load on the scale. Multiple idler scales are often used to improve performance in these situations.

Belt-Way products are widely used in the asphalt industry for measuring the production and blending of different materials. The use of a belt scale is the primary form of measurement as our customers use our Belt-Way conveyor belt scales to measure the amount of aggregate used in the production of their asphalt.

Asphalt plants are continuously looking for ways to improve and maximize productivity and margins. Asphalt recycling is also a major part of the industry where recycled material (or RAP) is used to produce different grades of asphalt.

The most frequently used application in the asphalt industry is using one scale to control the flow of another. This combination enables the plant to run at a certain flow rate and blend other materials at a predetermined percentage of the main feed. If the TPH of the main feed changes, the second scale adjusts automatically to keep the ratios consistent. Belt-Way’s Liquid Integrator is used to accurately blend asphalt emulsion with the aggregate.

When recycling material, the Belt-Way conveyor belt scale is used at both the crusher and screen discharge. Each scale will give the operator an accurate total of material that has been recycled. Belt-Way has long been the leader as a scale provider in the asphalt industry. Our scales are used for blending different materials as well as the control device for controlling multiple conveyors in the manufacture of asphalt. Our shaft mount encoder is an added benefit as it eliminates errors caused by material build-up.

Belt-Way Scales has multiple options to work with our scales. Our Remote Display can communicate with multiple scales wirelessly and hardwired.

Nowhere is the need for conveyor belt scales greater than in the mining industry. The Belt-Way scale is uniquely suited for reclaiming conveyors, load out, blending applications, primary crushers, and secondary crushers. The Belt-Way scale is preferred in the following sectors of the mining industry:

• Metals
• Coal
• Oil Shale
• Gemstones
• Limestone
• Dimension Stone
• Rock Salt
• Potash
• Gravel
• Clay
• Salt
• Frack Sand
• Silicate
  
  

There are many different mining processes where a scale is crucial. Scales are required to measure raw material drawn out of the pit. From there it may get sent to a crusher (or two) to convert the material to the proper size. Scales are also required on the feed conveyors to secondary and tertiary crushers. After the crushers, the material is typically sent through a screener and delivered as finished products or reroute for further processing. Once the material is of the desired size, it is measured on individual product conveyors on its way to the ultimate storage location. Measuring material at each phase of the process allows for optimization of crushing and screening equipment to maximize output and quality while reducing cost.

We currently have scales measuring material in the mining industry at up to 12,000 TPH. The durability and accuracy of Belt-Way’s line of high-capacity conveyor belt scales are unequaled.
