Series Options
- BW45 — Standard Single-Idler Belt Scale: Entry-level workhorse for stationary and portable plant applications. ±0.5% accuracy. Available in multiple configurations (single, dual, quad idler).
- BW500 — Dual-Idler Belt Scale: Higher accuracy at ±0.25%. Ideal for applications requiring more precise material tracking across a wider range of flow rates.
- BW1000 — Multi-Idler Belt Scale: Maximum accuracy configuration for demanding high-volume stationary plant applications.
- ROLL-R — Low-Profile Portable Belt Scale: Ultra-low-profile design mounts directly between existing idlers — no dedicated weigh conveyor required. Designed for portable crushers, screeners, and processing equipment. Speed sensor integrated within the roller.
- SSBW45 — Stainless Steel Single-Idler: 316 stainless steel construction for corrosive, moisture-heavy, or washdown environments. Same modular design as BW45.
- SSBW500 — Stainless Steel Dual-Idler: Stainless steel dual-idler configuration for high-accuracy weighing in demanding environments.
- Belt-Way Integrator: The control hub of the system. Displays real-time flow rate, production totals, alarms, diagnostics, and historical records. Compatible with PLCs, remote displays, printers, and Plant Connect cloud reporting.
