The mass measured by the load cells is integrated with the belt speed to compute the mass of material moving on the belt, after allowing for the mass of the belt itself. Belt weighers generally include the necessary electronics to perform this calculation, often in the form of a small industrialized microprocessor system.
The measured mass from load cells is combined with belt speed to determine the material's weight on the belt, accounting for the belt's own mass. Belt weighers often employ microprocessor systems to calculate this information.
