Cement, by nature, is a dusty and abrasive material, which presents unique challenges for check weigher. To meet the demands of the cement sector, General Measure specially design the structure and components to not only resistant to harsh conditions but also keep accurate consistency.

The Problems of Checkweigher in the Cement Industry

In the cement industry, the checkweigher often face significant challenges due to the harsh environments.

Belt Wear - the continuous movement of abrasive materials causes the conveyor belts to wear out quickly, leading to frequent replacements and inaccurate weight measurement.

Weighing Frame Wear - as the combination of abrasive dust and the heavy loads can erode the checkweigher’s structural components, compromising its longevity and functionality.

Photoelectric sensors Broken - the photoelectric sensors are highly susceptible to damage from the constant exposure to dust. Dust can accumulate on the sensors, causing them to malfunction or break down completely.

These problems lead to increased maintenance costs, longer downtime, and reduced overall efficiency, which is why specialized anti-dust, durable checkweighers are critical to ensuring the reliability and performance of weighing systems in the cement industry.

How General Measure’s Checkweigher Fix the Problem in Cement Industry

CW-60K special version checkweigher is well designed it structure and components to improve the protection performance and durability for the harsh environments.

CW-60K checkweighers are equipped with PVK belts, a high-strength material designed to resist abrasion and extend the life of the conveyor system. These belts are specially engineered to withstand the harsh, abrasive nature of cement particles, reducing the frequency of belt replacements and minimizing maintenance downtime.

The reinforced frames provide enhanced structural integrity, ensuring that the checkweigher remains stable and accurate even under heavy loads and prolonged exposure to dusty environments. It makes checkweighers more durable and reliable, offering a longer service life and better performance in cement production environments.

Top-down position designed of diffuse reflection photoelectric sensors, avoids dusts stick on. Automatic air blowing device is equipped next to the sensor for regularly blowing off the dust, which ensures photoelectric sensors runs well.

To further enhance the durability and lifespan of checkweighers, General Measure utilizes quenching treatment on the synchronous wheels. This process involves heating the wheels to a high temperature and then rapidly cooling them, which significantly improves their hardness and resistance to wear. Thus synchronous wheels can endure the constant friction and stress associated with the fast-moving conveyor system in a cement plant.

As a result, General Measure’s checkweigher CW-60K exhibits superior durability, reducing the risk of damage and extending its overall lifespan for the cement industry.
