Introduction

The Manual

Note:
• Please follow the installation and operating procedures for a quick, trouble-free
installation, and to ensure the maximum accuracy and reliability of your Siemens
Milltronics weighing system.
• The MLC is to be used only in the manner outlined in this manual or protection
provided to the equipment may be impaired.
• This product is intended for use in industrial areas. Operation of this equipment in
a residential area may cause interference to several frequency based
communications.
The Milltronics MLC belt scale is used in conjunction with the selected integrator and
speed sensor. This manual covers only MLC installation and operating procedures.
Integrator and speed sensor instruction manuals can be downloaded from
www. siemens.com/continuous-weighing.
This manual will help you set up your MLC for optimum performance. We always
welcome suggestions and comments about manual content, design, and accessibility.

Milltronics MLC Belt Scale

Milltronics MLC belt scale is a low-capacity scale for light belt loading. It is designed to
be inserted into either a flat roll idler (non-troughing) belt conveyor or a flat pan slider belt
conveyor for continuous weighing of dry bulk solids. The MLC is suitable for monitoring
such products as fertilizer, tobacco, animal feed pellets, and sugar.
The MLC belt scale consists of the following:
• a static beam (125 mm [5"] steel channel support frame)
• two precision load cells (Each cell lead wire is run in flexible conduit, with
approximately 1 m [3.28 ft] extending beyond the static beam)
• a flat roll idler
• a calibrating test rod, 22 mm (7/8") diameter
• a 25.4 mm (1") OD tube (to house the calibrating test rod)
• two mounting brackets (supports the idler, tube, and rod on the load cells)
• two shipping stops
The MLC load cells output an electrical signal proportional to load, which is applied to the
selected Siemens Milltronics belt scale integrator. Thus, weighing is accomplished
without interrupting the process and without affecting the process material.
The MLC belt scale is an accurate and repeatable force sensor. Its
Important:
performance is ultimately dependent upon the conveyor system and the quality of the
installation and accuracy of the alignment.
