Conveyor scale - Conveyor scale (English name)

Japanese: コンベヤ秤 - コンベヤばかり（英語表記）conveyer scale

Also known as a conveyor scale. A type of automatic scale that continuously weighs various raw materials such as granules and lumps transported on a belt conveyor to determine the total mass transported. One or more rollers that support the belt of the belt conveyor are detached from the conveyor frame and attached to a float that serves as the platform for the scale. The force exerted on the float by the raw materials on the belt is detected with a lever scale or load cell, and the total mass is calculated using an arithmetic method in which the detected force is added for each length of the belt that is applied to the float, or an integral method in which the detected force is successively integrated with respect to the belt speed.

コンベヤスケールともいう。ベルトコンベヤの輸送中の粒体，塊体などの各種原料を連続的に計量し輸送総質量を求める自動ばかりの一種。ベルトコンベヤのベルトを支えるローラーの1～数個をコンベヤフレームより切り離し，はかりの載せ台にあたる浮台に取り付け，ベルト上の原料などが浮台に及ぼす力をてこばかりやロードセルで検出し，総質量は検出力を浮台にかかるベルトの長さごとに加算する算術方式，あるいは検出力をベルトの速度について逐次積分する積分方式により求める。
