Weigh Belt Weighers/Feeders (Model 260 Series)

Weigh Feeders

Overview

Acrison’s various Model 260 Weigh Belt Weighers and Weigh Belt Feeders are precision, heavy-duty, high capacity devices designed to weigh and/or totalize the flow of dry solid materials in a “Wild-Flow” configuration, or to meter dry solid materials in a controlled “Closed-Loop’ configuration.

When operating as a Weigher and/or Totalizer – The Model 260 (WF) continuously weighs product passing across the belt, producing an output directly proportional to the weight of product flow. In this mode of operation, belt speed is constant and the rate of flow is not controlled, it is only weighed. A state-of-the-art control system continuously monitors and totalizes the flow of material, displays the rate at which product is flowing, and produces a precise proportional to weight output signal, which can be used for various process functions.

When operating as a Weigh Feeder – The Model 260(F) continuously controls the feed rate (or rate of product discharge off the belt) in relation to a feed rate set point, via modulation of the belt speed by a state-of-the-art control system. In this mode of operation, the belt, driven by a variable speed motor, is continuously regulated to precisely maintain the selected feed rate.

Features/Benefits
	Metering Accuracy - is typically +/- 0.25 to 1% or better (error) at two sigma based upon a given number of consecutive one minute weighments
	Unique Ratiometric Digital Weight Resolver - is extremely precise, calibration and adjustment-free, and cannot be damaged by any amount of shock or overload the weighing system may experience
	Dust-Tight Construction – provides total product confinement from inlet to outlet
	Technologically Advanced Weighing Mechanism - frictionless in operation, extremely stable, ruggedly constructed and permanently calibrated
	Heavy-Duty Multi-Ply Belt – is reinforced, vulcanized endless and designed for long life
	Heavy-Duty Belt Pulleys – are designed to ensure reliable belt tracking and positive traction
	Onboard Alarms – indicate belt mis-tracking
	Belt Scrapers – ensure a clean belt both externally and internally
	Support Idlers – (on bottom side of belt) maintain smooth belt operation, ensure optimum weight sensing, and enhance belt life
	All Steel Construction - provides long-term reliability with minimal maintenance requirements
