Book Description
Weighing items and bulk materials is one of the most essential functions of industrial enterprise and automating those tasks is at the heart of efficient materials management. This concise introduction to the principles and applications of automated weighing is the first book to specifically address the challenges and uses of automated controls for both static weighing and ongoing dynamic weighing. It offers you: • Thorough explanation of the basic theory and procedures of static and dynamic weight measurement; • Explanations of how a suite of widely-used controllers and sensors from Siemens can achieve maximal efficiency in weighing operations; • Practical steps to incorporate automated weight systems into bulk materials handling; • Guidance on dynamic weighing including belt scales, weightbelt conveyors, and solids flowmeters; and • Detailed applications in mining operations, food processing, and agricultural operations
