We have a system using 3 load cells (total capacity 675 lbs) and a Hardy Process Solutions weight controller to measure weight and rate on our feed conveyor. The material feed rate continuously varies from 1000 pounds per hour to 10,000 pounds per hour. The speed of the conveyor is fixed at 80 feet per minute +/- 3%. At the end of the day they totalize, via the PLC, the amount fed. It seems accuracy is around 10%.
What accuracy can we expect, assuming our programming is correct? Can you offer suggestions to optimize that?
