Customer Pain Points

Still Calibrating Belt Scales?

Belt flow volume — from contact scales & frequent calibration to contactless LiDAR metering

Safety Risk

the unseen profile hides blockages and off-center loads until late — a safety and metering risk

Accuracy

Contact-based belt scales drift with wear and need frequent calibration, distorting production data; misalignment and tension changes shift the reading

Financial Impact

disputed production numbers fuel arguments over shift assessment and cost

With Neuvition
  • Contactless and maintenance-free: no mechanical contact parts, no wear, no misalignment effect — goodbye to frequent calibration
  • Flow visualization: real-time 3D display of the material profile makes off-center loading, material loss and blockages visible at a glance
  • Long-term stable accuracy with no drift source, calibrated once at installation
  • DCS integration: standard industrial interfaces (4-20mA / Modbus / OPC / REST API) feed the control room with real-time production data
  • Optional particle-size monitoring with a camera
  • High scan rates of 25/50/100Hz (NEU-SL1-P160040E) for fast flow.

How It Works

Measurement Principle & System Architecture

Belt Profile Scanning

Contactless LiDAR scanning of material profile

Flow Computation

Cross-section × belt speed = flow rate

Cumulative Reports

Cumulative volume & tonnage output

DCS Integration

4-20mA / Modbus / OPC UA feed the control room live

Core Technology

Four Core Technical Advantages

Built for continuous production — never interrupts conveying

Non-Contact & Maintenance-Free

Contactless measurement has no wear and is unaffected by belt misalignment — calibrate once, accurate for years.

3D Cross-Section Visualization

Real-time 3D cross-section display makes off-center loading, material loss and blockages visible at a glance.

Real-Time Flow & Accurate Totals

Cross-section area × belt speed = flow; integrated into cumulative volume and tonnage.

DCS Integration

4-20mA / Modbus / OPC UA / REST API feed the control room in real time.

FAQ

FAQ

Can laser measurement fully replace a belt scale?
Yes for volume metering; for tonnage settlement, converted tons are output after density sampling calibration — most customers use it for output assessment and belt-scale calibration comparison.
Does belt misalignment affect accuracy?
Laser scanning covers the full belt width and tracks the profile dynamically, so misalignment does not affect volume calculation — the core advantage over belt scales.
Can it be installed in dusty, vibrating sites?
IP67 protection plus dust filtering algorithms, designed for harsh mining and power-plant conditions.
How does data reach our control room?
Standard industrial protocols such as 4-20mA, Modbus and OPC UA, plus REST API for IT platforms.
