Boost Accuracy, Efficiency, and Control with a Belt Scale
In industries that rely on bulk material handling, precision and speed are everything. Belt scales, also known as conveyor belt scales, deliver real-time measurement of material flow to help operations reduce waste, improve productivity, and increase inventory control.
At Michelli Weighing & Measurement, we provide belt scale sales, installation, calibration, and maintenance services nationwide—because your productivity shouldn’t stop at the scale.
What Is a Belt Scale?
A belt scale is a precision weighing system mounted directly onto a conveyor belt. It uses load cells, a speed sensor, and an integrator to continuously calculate both the flow rate and total accumulated weight of bulk materials—like sand, grain, or ore—moving across the conveyor.
Why Belt Scale Accuracy Matters
Inaccurate measurement leads to revenue loss, poor inventory visibility, and process inefficiencies. Here’s how accurate belt scales deliver value:
- Real-time data and alarms for improved process control
- Minimized waste from overfilling or underloading trucks and railcars
- Better inventory management with continuous weight and flow rate monitoring
- Reduced downtime and improved profitability across operations
Industries That Use Belt Scales
Belt scales are essential across industries that manage high-volume material flow:
Aggregates, Minerals & Mining
