Continuous quantity measurement of heavy flowing products

The complexity of weighing products like flour, powder, dust, e.g. lies in their inappropriate capability of flow. Because of that, it is very difficult to weigh these products. Cakings often lead to inaccurate measuring results. This handicap can be solved with the Coriolis-System. Coriolis weighers evaluate the torque, which results if solids are accelerated radially and deflected tangentially.

Coriolis Weighers measure the torque, which is the resulting force when solids are being accelerated radially and deflected tangentially.

Fig. 1: Conceptual Drawing of the Rotor Weigher

Because of the high acceleration in the Coriolis Weigher the product stays permanently in rotation and is not able to form bridges or cakings. Measuring works continuously. Vibrations of the assembly area or the density of the product don´t have any effect on the results of measurement. Force has a tangential effect, while friction shows a radial direction. It is not necessary to re-calibrate the Rotor Weigher when changing the product to be weighed.
The Rotor Weigher is based on the Coriolis priciple.
