Using the bulk density (fixed value or analog value) and the belt speed (fixed value,
encoder or analog value), the Bulkscan calculates the required output parameters
volume flow rate and mass flow rate, as well as the total volume and total mass.

Application examples
The Bulkscan is suitable for non-contact continuous detection of the bulk volume on
conveyor belts.
It can be used, for example, in the following areas:
• Monitoring transport systems for conveying coal or ore, e.g., in open-cast mines
or loading plants for:
◦
Minimizing the energy consumption, maximizing the transport performance by
means of maximum loading.
◦
Preventing tilted belts.
• Measuring the ash produced in power stations.
• Checking the loading of transport such as lorries, ships, railway trucks.
• Measuring volume and mass in gravel plants and other operations in the con-
struction industry.
