3.3 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.
