Conveyors
To weigh objects that are transported on a conveyor system, mount a section of the
conveyor on weigh modules (see Figure 2-3). Because the objects being weighed on a
conveyor are usually in motion, these applications require a weigh module capable of
withstanding high horizontal shear loads while still delivering repeatable weighments.
METTLER TOLEDO’s Centerlign weigh modules allow the conveyor’s weighing section
to move back and forth when exposed to horizontal shear loads. But the load cell’s self-
righting suspension system always returns the conveyor to its “home” position to ensure
repeatable weighing.
