Selection Guide
Use these rules to narrow the model range before final engineering confirmation.
Budget control and trend monitoring
Choose YB-ICS-NJ/2 when approximate process monitoring is sufficient and the conveyor is stable.
Routine production control
Choose YB-ICS-NJ/4 or YB-GZK-NT/6 for common plant weighing with balanced accuracy and cost.
Dust, vibration, high throughput, or long service intervals
Choose YB-GZK-NT/8 for stronger stability and lower maintenance frequency.
Loading, unloading, settlement, or strict material balance
Choose YB-GZK-NT/10 or YB-GZK-NT/12 for high-accuracy weighing and longer maintenance-free intervals.

FAQ
Common questions from procurement, engineering, and plant operation teams.
How much does a conveyor belt scale cost?
Price depends on belt width, accuracy target, idler count, load cell configuration, calibration method, and site conditions. Send your conveyor data and YonBond will recommend a suitable model.
What is the delivery time?
Standard models can usually be prepared faster than customized systems. Final lead time depends on model, quantity, documentation, and export requirements.
Can the belt scale be installed on an existing conveyor?
Yes. YonBond belt scales are designed for installation on existing conveyors after checking belt width, idler spacing, conveyor structure, speed, and material loading conditions.
How is calibration performed?
Calibration can be completed by static calibration, chain calibration, material test, or optional automatic calibration depending on the required accuracy and site workflow.
How often does it need maintenance?
The recommended maintenance-free interval ranges from 10 to 180 days depending on the selected model and operating conditions.
Is OEM or customization available?
Yes. YonBond can support model selection, customized mechanical design, communication requirements, documentation, and OEM cooperation.
What warranty is available?
Warranty terms depend on the order scope and project requirements. YonBond provides technical support for installation, commissioning, calibration, and operation.
