Knowing how much raw materials are consumed or stored can be a challenging. With the SICK Bulkscan sensor solution, you can monitor conveyor transport systems and determine the volume flow of raw materials.
The SICK Bulkscan Lidar sensor can be installed on all types of open conveyors. The profile of the material on the conveyor is scanned, which in combination with belt speed, represents volume flow and calculated mass flow.

Usage

✔ For various materials: Wood, chips, coal, cement, building materials, agricultural food (grains, vegetables) ✔ In various industries: During loading and unloading of transport (railway, ports) In Energy, Production: material supply, sorting.

Advantages

In addition, allows monitoring of conveyor transport and material on it:
✔ Bulk material height (overfill protection),
✔ Bulk material center of gravity (uneven loading warning),
✔ Bulk edge limits (material loss warning)
✔ Conveyor edges movement

Specification

✔ Max. conveyor speed: 30 m/s / ≤ 20 m/s
✔ Output signal:
Ethernet
Digital inputs and digital outputs
USB auxiliary interface
RS-232/RS-422
✔ Working range: 0.5m...10m / 0.5m...20m
