Guonuo Technology ICS-14 Electronic Belt Scale Installation Case

As we all know, electronic belt scales, used for dynamic weighing of bulk materials, must be sensitive. Only with sensitivity can the belt scale's weight sensors perceive slight and instantaneous changes in material weight timely, sensitively, and accurately, while the speed sensors can accurately perceive the belt's running speed. In summary, sensors have the ability to sensitively perceive external factors, but this ability also has limitations in practical applications, as they are easily affected by factors other than those they need to perceive, such as temperature and electromagnetism, which can interfere with the sensors.

Moreover, besides sensor interference, factors like whether the electronic belt scale is in a vibrating environment, whether the scale frame is easily impacted, and whether the material is stable when it reaches the weighing area after falling from the discharge port, can also adversely affect the belt scale's weighing accuracy.

Therefore, to reduce the impact of these adverse factors on belt scale measurements, manufacturers have made comprehensive improvements in belt scale structure design, performance, and application technology, significantly enhancing the accuracy and stability of belt scales. However, in practical applications, it is difficult to control the unfavorable factors on-site, making the installation of belt scales crucial. Just imagine, even if an electronic belt scale has high performance and excellent quality, achieving high accuracy and stability under ideal conditions, how can it meet these ideals in harsh environments with significant temperature changes, wind, dust, electromagnetism, vibration, and so on?

The installation of electronic belt scales has a significant impact on subsequent applications, requiring experienced installers to accurately assess the on-site environment, develop reasonable installation plans, and quickly and accurately respond to any issues that arise on-site, identify problems, and provide reasonable and accurate solutions.

Recently, a customer of Guonuo Technology purchased three ICS-14 electronic belt scales, which have been in use for three months. The customer reported that the on-site application accuracy and stability met the requirements, with minimal zero-point fluctuation, expressing great satisfaction. In fact, during the on-site installation by Guonuo's after-sales engineers, numerous issues were encountered due to environmental and human factors, but were ultimately resolved thanks to their extensive experience and high technical skills. The main issues encountered were as follows:

1. The customer operates in the traditional chemical industry, and the on-site production environment is relatively complex. To install the belt scales, certain modifications to the production workshop were necessary. Guonuo's after-sales engineers guided the customer through these modifications, resulting in a workshop that not only facilitates weighing but also enhances production convenience.

2. On one of the production lines, the distance between the belt's loading and discharging ports was too close. After installing the belt scale, there were only two rollers between the scale and the ports. The material had not yet stabilized or distributed evenly when it reached the weighing area after falling from the discharge port. Guonuo's after-sales personnel communicated with the site supervisor and added a baffle at the loading port to reduce the impact of material fall on the belt scale's measurement.

3. The distance between the lower belt and the roller bracket on-site was too short, leaving no sufficient space for installing the belt scale. After detailed inspection, Guonuo's after-sales personnel adjusted the lower belt to a suitable position, creating enough space for the installation.

4. During the on-site cooperation for debugging the ICS-14 belt scale's diagonal sensors, improper operation led to sensor damage. Guonuo's engineers immediately repaired the sensor and ensured its proper functioning through testing.

5. When debugging the second electronic belt scale, the instrument was connected for a 4~20mA output with a range of 100t/h. During belt operation, the instantaneous flow rate on the instrument was 2t/h lower than the value displayed on the computer. After adjusting the instrument range, the values matched, but errors reappeared after a test period of about 3 hours. Guonuo's engineers thoroughly checked for signal interference sources and other factors, ultimately identifying and resolving electromagnetic interference in the transmission signal.

The on-site installation of electronic belt scales can be challenging due to environmental, production, and human factors, with various situations potentially arising. Any unresolved issue can impact the practical application of the belt scales. Fortunately, Guonuo Technology's after-sales engineers, with their extensive experience and high technical skills, have more solutions than difficulties, ensuring the reasonable installation of the belt scales.
