Radiometric Bulk Flow Measurement

Berthold‘s radiometric measuring systems monitor bulk flow and totalized mass in a
non-contacting manner. They are used in many industries, such as mining, paper
production, building materials and power as the measurement solution can be applied
to all conveyor systems. Radiometry is often the only reliable method for determining
flow rates. Our measuring systems are particularly suitable for monitoring loading
processes, dosing and mixing processes, as well as production control. Capable of
measuring the current conveying capacity, totalized mass (tonnage), and batch processes.
The measurement can be carried out with any size of material, ranging from powders
and granulates all the way to large lumps of rock and logs. The typical measuring range
is between 100 kg/h and 1000 t/h.
After a simple calibration, our systems operate with high precision for many years, with
a reproducibility of ±1%. Fully non-contact – the measurement is uninfluenced by wind,
vibrations, dust, dirt, fluctuating belt tension or fluctuating bulk densities. Retrofitting
to existing conveyor systems is possible without any problems.
