After mining raw coal, coal mine enterprises utilize belt conveyors for coal transportation. Due to the large production volume and extensive production area, multiple belt conveyors are often required to complete the transportation from underground to the ground and to designated locations above ground.
Meanwhile, it is necessary to monitor coal production to enhance management. Both underground and opencast mines contain flammable and explosive substances such as methane and coal dust. Therefore, equipment used in either environment must possess explosion-proof capabilities.
Specifically designed for coal mine enterprises, belt scales for coal mines are dynamic weighing instruments that can be used in flammable and explosive environments such as underground or opencast mines.
They feature excellent explosion-proof performance, good sealing, anti-static properties, moisture and dust resistance, and reliable and safe performance. These scales provide accurate and reliable weighing data for coal mine enterprises.
Belt scales for coal mines are essential weighing devices in the coal conveying systems of coal mine enterprises, playing a pivotal role in both internal and external production management. Internally, they are used for cost accounting, production control, conveyor control, and protection. Externally, they are used for commercial trade settlement and production monitoring.
The widespread application of belt scales in coal mine enterprises is mainly attributed to their ability to provide accurate and reliable coal production data.
As informatized dynamic weighing instruments, they measure the instantaneous flow rate of coal passing through the conveyor and the cumulative flow over a certain period in real-time. These data are stored, transmitted, and shared in real-time.
With stable and reliable performance, belt scales can continuously and accurately operate in harsh coal mine environments.
The belt scale system for coal mines can also be equipped with upper computer software. Through this software, personnel from relevant departments can view real-time or historical production data.
These data can be used for internal production management statistics and settlement between collaborating units. Based on the measurement data of raw coal conveyed, the production volume of raw coal can be calculated before it is stored in the warehouse.
After raw coal is processed through procedures such as screening and crushing, it is graded. Measurement and statistics are completed during the conveying process of different graded product coals.
Measurement and statistics before product coal are shipped out of the warehouse can provide the enterprise with sales volumes of various coal types, facilitating production management.
Additionally, the load sensors equipped on belt scales for coal mines can provide data for conveyor load control to prevent overloading. The speed sensors can provide data for conveyor speed monitoring to prevent excessive or insufficient speed. These contribute to enhancing the control and protection of belt conveyors.
When settling with collaborating units, coal enterprises use belt conveyors for loading, and belt scales for coal mines also provide trade settlement data.
Integrating network information technology, belt scales for coal mines have information interfaces that can be connected to the coal network and coal production monitoring system, providing production data for coal production monitoring and preventing overproduction.
In summary, belt scales for coal mines provide basic data support for internal and external production management, equipment management, and sales settlement in coal mine enterprises, serving as irreplaceable informatized weighing and measurement equipment.
