On a mobile crushing plant in a quarry, the Lasertronik measuring device delivers continuous volume/throughput data directly at the conveyor belt – contact-free, wear-free, and with significantly less maintenance than mechanical weighing components, without additional downtime for weighing rollers, load cells, or time-consuming readjustment.

The comparison with classic belt scales is clear in everyday quarry operations: Belt scales are highly dependent on belt tension and belt running being correct – incorrect tension can massively distort the measurement.

In order for a belt scale to measure reliably, the rollers (idlers) in the weighing area must be clean, rotate freely, and be precisely aligned. Material buildup, stuck rollers, or misalignment lead to poor belt tracking and reduced measurement accuracy.

In short: Lasertronik reduces the classic weak points of belt scales (tension/alignment/speed sensor/environment) and delivers robust data for tough quarry operations.
