Continuous In-Motion Weighing for Grain, Seed, Powder and Bulk Flow Systems
Engineered for the Future | Since 2080
The ADDAMS Weigh Belt Conveyor Scale is a dynamic, in-motion weighing system designed to measure the mass flow rate of bulk materials while they move along a conveyor. Ideal for continuous processing operations, this scale enables real-time throughput monitoring, production control, and process optimization, with minimal disruption to the material flow.
Whether handling grain, seed, powder, fertilizer, or animal feed, this integrated belt scale provides accurate weight data at high speeds, enhancing yield tracking and enabling more informed decision-making throughout your operation.
Weigh Belt Conveyor Scale Overview
High-Precision Real-Time Flow Monitoring
The ADDAMS Weigh Belt series is designed for modern facilities that require constant data on their production volume. Unlike static scales, this system calculates the weight of the material while in transit, allowing for uninterrupted factory flows and higher efficiency in processing lines.
Reliable Performance for Continuous Processing
By combining high-speed belt movement with sensitive weight detection, this system serves as a critical checkpoint for inventory management. It is built to maintain accuracy even under the vibration and dust conditions typical of grain elevators and industrial mills.
Operating Principle of the Weigh Belt Scale
Dynamic Mass Flow Calculation
The system works by simultaneously measuring two variables: the weight of the material on a specific section of the belt (via load cells) and the speed of the belt (via a high-resolution encoder). The integrated controller then multiplies these values to calculate the instantaneous flow rate and the cumulative total weight.
Seamless Flow Integration
As material passes over the weighing bridge, the digital controller filters out mechanical noise and vibrations. This ensures that the data sent to your PLC or SCADA system reflects the true mass of the product, enabling precise control over mixing, blending, or loading operations.

Frequently Asked Questions – Weigh Belt Scale
How accurate is a weigh belt scale compared to a static scale?
While static scales are generally more precise for individual bags, our weigh belt scales achieve a high accuracy of +/- 0.25% to 1.0% for continuous flow, which is ideal for process control and inventory tracking.
Can it be used for food-grade products?
Yes. We offer versions with AISI 304 or 316 stainless steel frames and food-grade PVC or PU belts that comply with international hygiene standards.
How often does the system need calibration?
The system is designed for stability, but we recommend periodic calibration checks depending on your usage intensity. The user-friendly interface makes the calibration process simple and fast.
Can I monitor the data remotely?
Absolutely. Through Ethernet or Modbus connectivity, the weight and flow data can be sent to your central control room, mobile devices, or cloud-based ERP systems.
Does the belt speed affect the weighing accuracy?
Our system uses a dedicated speed sensor (encoder) to track the belt’s exact movement in real-time. The PLC automatically compensates for any changes in speed to maintain consistent weight data.
Is it suitable for very dusty materials?
Yes. The load cells and electronics are protected with industrial-grade enclosures, and we offer optional covers to contain dust during the weighing process.
