Bulkscan LMS511

Product descriptionThe 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 mate-rial's properties or weather conditions. Aside from calculating total quantities and mass flow, the Bulkscan can moni-tor 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 operat-ing 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 commu-nication 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 tempera-

tures thanks to integrated heater • Compact housing with enclosure rat-

ing IP67

Your benefits • Maximizes conveyor throughput • Reduces maintenance costs by pre-

venting 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
