Application Conditions for Trade Metering Electronic Belt Scales

Electronic belt scales are dynamic weighing instruments used on belt conveyors for transporting solid bulk materials. They measure instantaneous and cumulative material flow during the conveying process, offering high weighing efficiency. They are widely used in bulk continuous material handling in coal mines, quarries, cement plants, etc. The accuracy and reliability of electronic belt scales directly impact corporate economic benefits and cost accounting between units, especially in port terminals, large thermal power plants, and trade metering applications.

Trade metering electronic belt scales have the highest requirements among all applications, as they involve trade settlements and directly affect corporate economic benefits. If these scales cannot maintain their expected accuracy and stability over the long term in practical applications, they will cause issues for both trading parties and lead to various disputes due to metering inaccuracies. Trade metering electronic belt scales must meet requirements in terms of accuracy, stability, data, and operation.

(1) Meet Accuracy and Stability Requirements

The accuracy and stability of trade metering electronic belt scales are inseparable. Imagine if the accuracy can meet expectations but cannot be maintained over the long term in practical applications; then, what is the point of talking about metering accuracy?

To achieve the expected metering accuracy and stability, it is essential to fully consider the process conditions of the trade metering site.

The electronic belt scales must adapt to the installation and application conditions, including the inclination angle of the belt conveyor and belt width. Only by meeting the expected accuracy and stability can trade metering electronic belt scales provide accurate and reliable data support for corporate settlements.

(2) Obtain High-Confidence Verification

Among electronic belt scale metering verification methods, physical verification has the highest confidence level. However, it requires significant investment, is difficult to operate, time-consuming, and necessitates multiple material runs, making it challenging to implement in practical applications.

Nevertheless, to ensure the long-term stability of trade metering electronic belt scales, verification is indispensable. Chain code verification and other methods can be used as substitutes for physical verification.

Trade metering electronic belt scales should offer multiple verification methods to choose from, allowing for physical verification when possible and chain code verification when physical verification is not feasible. The verification process should be accurate, reliable, simple, and convenient.

(3) Provide Accurate Metering Data to Users

Metering data is an important basis for trade settlements. Access to real-time and accurate metering data facilitates final settlement operations.

Trade metering electronic belt scales should provide users with real-time and accurate metering data, accessible both at the metering site and remotely by managers, and the data in both locations should be consistent and accurate.

Apart from real-time data and reports, historical metering data should also be provided for future report analysis.

Trade metering electronic belt scales should offer users higher practical application accuracy, maintain their accuracy and stability, meet the application and operating conditions at the metering site, and provide users with accurate data for settlements, including real-time and historical data.
