Bulk Material Handling in the Food Industry
2
BMH Product Application in the Food Industry
• The Bulk Material Handling solutions:
• Belt Scales
• Weighbelt feeders
• C-Levels
• Microwave Point Level
3
BMH Product Solutions
• Control process / blending
• Weigh products to provide information on how much material is being processed
• Control feed rate to provide accurate blending of materials in final product
• Improve efficiency
• Minimize product waste or over/under production
• Maintain product inventory levels
• Quality products with little to no downtime
• Cost management
• Manage inventory
• Continuous information on product inventory levels to support production
planning
• Inventory management, provide trigger when inventory levels get low
4
5
Conveyor Belt Scales
• Series 10-101-R2 Dual Module
Belt Scale System with slider bed
• Weighing baby carrots
• Other applications:
• Potatoes
• Sugar beets
• Any bulk product
6
7
Weighbelt Feeders: Cereal
• Weighbelt feeder
• 120 lbs/hr to 900 tons/hr
• Capable of +/-0.5% accuracy
• Blend materials
• Control cereal flow to
downstream filler
8
• Low capacity weighbelt feeder
• +/-1/2% Accuracy
• Cocoa Powder
• Solutions custom designed to meet Customer requirements
• This version use plexiglass panel (to avoid contamination from the top)
that can be easily removed for air cleaning.
Belt Weight Feeders: Cocoa Powder
9
• Solution also allows operator to clean
with air but, thanks to the panels net,
cannot access to moving parts so
respect standard for safety
Belt Weight Feeders: Cocoa Powder
10
Weighbelt Feeder: Carrots
• Low capacity weighbelt feeder
• +/-1/2% Accuracy
• Carrots
• Designed with special slider bed to contain product
11
Weighbelt Feeders: Blending of several products for pet food
• Low capacity weighbelt feeder
• +/-1/2% Accuracy
• Blending products for pet food

19
Quality and Accuracy Matter!
To provide the best weighing or inventory monitoring solution to
the customer, three items need to be considered:
• First, what is the value of the commodity being weighed?
• Higher value material generally requires greater weighing accuracy.
Material
Value
Tons per
Year
Cost of
2% error
Cost of
1/4% error
$2.00/ton 1,000,000 $40,000 $5,000
$100.00/ton 1,000,000 $2,000,000 $250,000
20
Quality and Accuracy Matter!
• The second consideration is the price range and the customers’
budget
• It obviously will be difficult to sell a $20,000 device into a $10,000 budget
• On the other hand, if $20,000 is available, why settle for reduced
accuracy. As seen in previous chart and in most cases, the cost of the
scale is returned in a very short time in production accuracy and
minimized downtime.
21
Quality and Accuracy Matter!
• The third consideration is the competition
• Many competitors will attempt to sell a lower accuracy scale based on
price alone!
• Knowing the application and true accuracy requirements will assist in
making the correct determination for system proposals.
• Leverage the value of Thermo Fisher quality, application experience and
aftermarket support!

  1. Dual module 10-101-R2 IDEA Scale with Slider Bed Bottom left photo you can see how load cell module is mounted under conveyor idler to provide weight of material on conveyor above. Bottom right photo shows how scale weighbridge is mounted on conveyor stringers, load cell under silver cover in center of weighbridge and idler mounted on weighbridge.
