Fairbanks Scales launches FB9000 Series conveyor belt scales

The company says the FB9000’s self-aligning weighbridge accurately measures the force of material, without the use of levers, linage or other mechanical apparatus known to produce nonlinearity. The scales have various applications: 

• The FB9000 Series scales offer high-resolution weighing of all products, even low flow rate applications, in stationary plants where accurate, repeatable tracking of product totals and ratios are crucial to plant management.

• It can be used in portable applications where its modular design allows for installation on virtually any style conveyor, including low profile and spine conveyors.

• The FB9000 Series’ automatic angle compensation feature enables repeatable, accurate weighing on catenary style idlers, such as those used on track-mounted portable crushers and asphalt milling machines.   

• Rail, barge, truck and ship loadout requires high accuracy in rugged environments. The FB9000 Series is accurate at flow rates up to 10,000 tons per hour, and it has built-in loadout controls for automated cutoff.
