A bulk conveyor 10 features a weight measuring device 47 featuring a flexible member or plate 49, which overlies a mass measuring element 52, on a support element 53. The apparatus may be used for the measurement of the mass of material, such as coal, fed into a coal feeding conveyor 10, which itself outputs to other apparatus. Also disclosed is a bulk conveyor 10 with a weight measuring device 47 which generates weight measurement signals, and a volumetric metering element. This apparatus may be used to generate measures of both mass and volume, so that characteristics such as density of material can be calculated. |
