Scales Roller Conveyor

Applications & Use Cases

• Used for weighing individual items or batches as they move along a production line.
• Ideal for quality control checks and ensuring consistent product weight in packaging operations.
• Suitable for inventory management and tracking product flow in warehouses and distribution centres.
• Often integrated into automated systems for sorting and grading products based on weight.

Typical Specifications

Typical capacity

For this class of equipment, load capacities typically range from 5 kg to 100 kg per item, depending on roller strength and scale design.

Power supply

Commonly found on units of this type, power requirements are typically 230V single-phase, though some heavy-duty models may require 400V three-phase.

Conveyor width

Typically, roller conveyor widths for this application range from 300mm to 800mm, accommodating various product sizes.

Accuracy

Scale accuracy for roller conveyor systems is commonly found to be within +/- 5g to +/- 50g, depending on the specific load cell and indicator.

Materials of construction

Rollers are typically made from stainless steel or galvanised steel, with frames often in mild steel or stainless steel for food-grade environments.

Throughput

Throughput rates for this type of equipment can vary significantly, typically processing between 5 and 30 items per minute, influenced by item size and scale stabilisation time.
