TM 5-3895-374-10......................................................................................................................................................FEEDER information displayWeighed by Feed Bin Collector Belt Scale_________________________Some systems incorporate a number of belt conveyor scales in the collector belt under the feed bins. A single speedpickup off the collector belt tailshaft is used to measure belt speed. The output of the feeder furthest from the drum ismeasured by the furthest weighbridge. The second furthest weighbridge measures the actual material output of both thefirst and second bins and so forth. The computer calculates the measured output of each bin from the measured value ofits weighbridge minus the measured value of the previous weighbridge. This scheme usually has some other simplerapproach as a backup option.Recycle Weighed by Recycle Scale Conveyor______________________Some systems, using a single recycle bin, interlock the bin and its scale conveyor so that the desired bin output isperiodically compared to the actual measured scale value and appropriately corrected. Most usually the feeder informationdisplay will be the Desired Rate, shown in parenthesis, and the recycle scale information display will, of course, be theactual measured rate. Other measuring techniques may be employed for specialty feeders proportioning antistrip,rejuvenator, water, line or some other additive. Special options are covered in the appendix to this manual.page F - 14SYSTEMS Equipment Corp8/31/89Page (8)
