The CVS was designed to provide users with hassle-free, insightful reporting, the company says. It is an above-belt LIDAR laser measurement system, making it ideal for production management personnel to understand inventory production rates in volume and tons, in real time or for the accurate measurement of contract-crushing quantities.

With the correct size frame, the CVS can run on any belt ranging from 400 mm to 2,000 mm wide. It can be custom-mounted for larger belts, including deep belts to measure even greater product quantities, Loadscan says.

“I am excited about the release of the CVS product as it is a complementary product to our LVS (load volume scanner) truck scanner that our customers have asked about for a long time to complete their volumetric production tracking on their conveyor belts,” says Carey West, owner and director of Loadscan. “The development team has done a great job in making the system simple design so it is easy to install and the software interface is stacked with functionality and is super user friendly.”
