6.16.1 Design and function
This is a conveyor scale. The amount of beet is recorded on a weighing frame inside
the truck conveyor articulation part before overloading. It weighs the load with the dirt
content (referred to in general as sugar beet) transported to the truck by the conveyor
via two highly sensitive electronic weighing cells. The accuracy of every single weigh-
ing process is primarily influenced by the correct operation of the scales and is not
subject to the influence of the manufacturer.
In addition to correct operation, the following factors also have a significant influence
on the accuracy of the weighing process:
– Ground characteristics
– Degree of contamination of the sugar beets
– Degree of contamination of the support rollers in the weighing frame and the sup-
port rollers, located immediately in front of and behind the weighing frame
– The inclination angle of the truck loader articulated section
