Single-idler model an option for conveyors

The Quarry King single-idler belt scale from Thayer Scale is a conveyor weighing solution that’s ideal for measuring dusty fines and stone-like aggregate materials. Thayer says the Quarry King’s construction and spill-proof, jam-proof suspension design are advantages. The suspension system’s load cell can quickly be removed and replaced without disturbing the weigh idler itself, the company says. This eliminates the task of resetting and aligning the idler, as well as conducting another material test upon recommissioning. Additionally, Thayer says the included test weight is easily accessible, providing trouble-free scale calibration. Thayer Scale’s Model I-340 conveyor belt scale integrator is a featured instrument that’s designed to match with the Quarry King single-idler belt scale.
