Non-contact and maintenance-free sensor
for measuring volume flow
Multi-echo
technology
Product description
The Bulkscan LMS511 uses time-of-flight
technology for non-contact measurement
of volume flow on conveyor belts. Using
the multi-echo technology, the Bulkscan
can combine time-of-flight data with the
belt speed to generate a reliable volume
flow signal, regardless of the bulk material's properties or weather conditions.
Aside from calculating total quantities
and mass flow, the Bulkscan can monitor the operation of the conveyor belt
without coming into physical contact with
it and promptly gives warning of any belt
slippage. The integrated center-of-gravity
calculator can be used to detect uneven
loading of the bulk material and avoid
excessive belt wear. Its tough industrial
housing is well suited to rugged operating conditions. An integrated heater also
ensures safe operation at low ambient
temperatures. Discrete signals as well as
Ethernet TCP/IP can be used to connect
the measuring system to a host communication system.
At a glance
•• Non-contact measurment of volume
and mass flow of bulk material
•• Laser pulses with high angular
resolution ensure outstanding image
resolution
•• 5-echo pulse evaluation produces
highly reliable measurements
•• Offers non-contact belt monitoring
•• Integrated center-of-gravity calculator
•• Robust structure for harsh ambient
conditions
•• Can also measure at low temperatures thanks to integrated heater
•• Compact housing with enclosure rating IP67
Your benefits
•• Maximizes conveyor throughput
•• Reduces maintenance costs by preventing belt slippage
•• Increases the conveyor belt’s service
life
•• Reduces loading time
•• Increases efficiency by optimizing belt
capacity
•• Simple installation
•• Low maintenance costs
•• Offers savings through minimized
energy consumption
