The PBW4-3 weigh frame, 360°

Three weigh idlers on a four-metre fully floating frame, shown with two optional stored-in-place billet calibration weights on their own lifting gear. Hot-dip galvanised mild steel on the conveyor stringers, mounting bolts fitted, as supplied for a 1050 mm belt. Stainless steel when needed.

The PBW4-3, step by step

From bare frame to running conveyor

Every part of a PBW4-3 installation, in the order it goes together. Accurate Industries supplies the lot: the weigh frame, weigh idlers, speed sensor and off-scale idlers, plus the integrator and calibration.

1. The weigh frame

The four-metre galvanised weigh frame on its four load cells, with the calibration weight arms.

2. Weigh idlers, on the stringers

Three weigh idler frames on the scale, bolted between the conveyor stringers (shown with optional billet calibration weights).

3. Off-scale idlers

Six standard idler frames either side of the scale, so the belt runs true through the weigh area.

4. Belt fitted

Carry and return belt in place: the conveyor as it runs empty. Add the speed sensor and integrator and it is weighing.
