Performance analysis of continuous beltweigher in LabVIEW

摘要

Beltweigher is an instrument used to measure and control the solid flow rate in industries. It allows the continuous weighing of materials as they are transported through the conveyor. It usually form a part of the conveyor equipment where it replaces a particular section of the conveyor belt. There are various factors such as belt tension, belt stiffness, location and alignment which affect the accuracy of the equipment. Hence it is necessary to simulate the process conditions and check the performance of the equipment before commissioning in the field. This paper discusses the performance analysis of a continuous beltweigher under different loading conditions using Labview.
