The present invention relates to a belt conveyor with a weighing device for a dough line, comprising a conveyor device, comprising a frame, at least two rollers supported by the frame, a conveyor belt, arranged movable in a length direction of the belt around the at least two rollers and a slot, extending in a width direction of the conveyor belt, and arranged adjacent to an inwardly facing part of the conveyor belt, and a weighing device, comprising a housing fitting the slot; and being movable into and removable from the slot at least one weighing unit, carried by the housing and arranged with a weighing surface thereof facing outwardly for weighing a weight exercised on the weighing surface.

The invention provides a conveying device having a conveying performance higher than that of the related art, a sample analysis system and sample pretreatment device with the conveying device and a method for conveying a conveyance object. A conveying device 1 includes a permanent magnet 10 which is provided on a sample rack 111 side, magnetic poles 25 each of which includes a core 22 made of a second magnetic body and a winding 21 wound around an outer periphery of the core 22, drive circuits 50 each of which supplies a current to the winding 21 of the magnetic pole 25, and current command calculation units 55 each of which controls a value of the current to be supplied to the winding 21 from the drive circuit 50. The current command calculation unit 55 makes the currents to be supplied to the windings 21 vary.

A vacuum system (10) and method (100) used for creating a dynamically controlled vacuum system (10) for lifting processes (Wc) are disclosed. The compressed air used for an ejector (3) is varied by calculating the required vacuum levels (V.sup.−) during the lifting process (Wc). This reduces the air consumption.

A support apparatus includes a frame assembly with an elevated load surface for supporting a modular proppant container in a position above a ground level. A chute assembly is supported by the frame assembly beneath the elevated load surface. A gate actuator has a coupling configured to engage with a gate assembly of the modular proppant container supported on the elevated load surface and a drive mechanism extending between the frame assembly and the coupling to selectively position the coupling for adjusting the gate assembly. The support apparatus may include a base frame section having a recessed region beneath the elevated load surface providing a feed station, an on-board subsystem attached to the frame assembly for operating the support apparatus in a stand-alone mode or an in-situ weigh station configured to measure the weight of the modular proppant container supported on an elevated surface in the rectangular container bay.

A method and a scale for the performance thereof performs a zeroing process as soon as a product conveyed across a weighing platform leaves the weighing platform.

Disclosed is a belt tensioner having a single-piece plastic body, having a fastening section, that has an adjustment mechanism via which the plastic body can be adjustably fastened, to the carrier; a pressing section configured to press against the drive belt in order to tension the drive belt; and a spring joint device which connects the fastening section and the pressing section to one another, and via which the pressing section is displaceably supported at the fastening section along the deflection direction so that, when the pressing section presses against the drive belt, the amount of the displacement of the pressing section along the deflection direction is dependent on the respective set drive belt tension, wherein the belt tensioner has a setting aid that indicates when the predefined drive belt tension is set by the belt tensioner.

A radiation detector unit includes a read-out integrated circuit (ROIC) including a plurality of core circuit blocks located on a continuous uninterrupted substrate adjacent to one another along a first direction, and a plurality of radiation sensors bonded to a front side surface of the ROIC, where each radiation sensor of the plurality of radiation sensors is bonded to a respective core circuit block of the plurality of core circuit blocks of the ROIC. Additional embodiments include detector modules and detector arrays formed by assembling the detector units, and methods of operating and manufacturing the same.

A conveyance system includes a feeding means, a reading means, a weight measuring means, a storage means, a notification means, and an arithmetic control means. Article-related information includes a unit weight of articles, the number of incoming orders of the articles, and a reference weight value derived by measuring or calculating a weight of a container storing the articles. The arithmetic control means compares the number of pickings of the articles obtained by dividing a difference between the reference weight value and a measurement value after operation as a weight of the container after picking of the articles by the unit weight, with the number of incoming orders, determines whether there is an excess or deficiency, and when there is an excess or deficiency, notifies the excessive or deficient number of articles by the notification means.

A linear feeder is provided that vibrates a trough to transport articles on the trough. The trough has a guiding protrusion at an intermediate position on a bottom surface of a transport path in a direction of its width. The guiding protrusion is progressively greater in lateral width in a direction of transport of the articles, and transport passages progressively smaller in width are accordingly formed at sides of the guiding protrusion.

A milling machine includes a cutting rotor, a foldable conveyor, a sensor, and a controller. The cutting rotor is configured to mill material beneath the milling machine. The foldable conveyor is configured to receive and dispose the milled material and includes a first section and a second section foldable with respect to the first section at a fold structure. The sensor is positioned on the milling machine and configured to sense a value indicative of a force acting on the second section. The controller is configured to determine an amount of the milled material within the second section of the foldable conveyor using the value indicative of the force.
