Volumetric Belt Scanners
The Benefits of Volumetric Scanning Technology
• Volumetric Conveyor Belt Scanning Explained •
Volumetric conveyor belt scanning is a relatively new technology that, more and more, is being implemented into mining operations and other applications across the construction, agriculture and other industries. Scanning technology has started to become the norm for payload management systems across the industrial spectrum, and Walz has been at the forefront of developing this technology for widespread use and availability. You may be wondering “how does this volumetric belt scanning technology work, and is it accurate?” Rest assured that Walz is here to answer those questions and more!
Rather than utilizing a static scale system for measuring materials travelling down a conveyor belt, volumetric scanners measure load data using advanced 3D imaging software. This system can provide automatic volumetric calculations of material production from a simple, easy to install piece of equipment, and send that data directly to operators or job overseers. Walz Scale is very proud to be setting the industry standard for volumetric conveyor belt technology, and we’re confident that this innovative system will completely change the way that your mining or other application approaches material payload management acquisition.
