Can a screw packing scale be converted to a belt packing scale?

Yes, a screw packing scale can be converted to a belt packing scale, but the following factors need to be considered:  

1. Material Characteristics  

Screw Packing Scale: Suitable for materials with poor flowability and prone to clumping, such as powders and granules.  

Belt Packing Scale: Suitable for materials with good flowability and not prone to clumping, such as grains and granular materials.  

2. Equipment Structure  

Screw Packing Scale: Transports materials via a screw mechanism.  

Belt Packing Scale: Transports materials via a belt, requiring adjustments or replacement of the conveying mechanism.  

3. Control System  

The control systems of the two scales are different, necessitating reprogramming or replacement of the controller.  

4. Accuracy Requirements  

Screw packing scales offer higher accuracy, while belt packing scales have slightly lower accuracy. This should be evaluated based on requirements.  

5. Cost  

The conversion involves mechanical and electrical modifications, which can be costly. It is important to assess whether the investment is worthwhile.  

6. Installation Space  

Belt packing scales may require more space, so it is essential to ensure that the installation conditions allow for this.  

7. Maintenance  

Belt packing scales are relatively easier to maintain but require regular belt replacement.  

In summary, the conversion is feasible, but it requires comprehensive consideration of factors such as material characteristics, accuracy requirements, cost, and space. It is recommended to consult a professional engineer for evaluation.
