dc.description.abstractMassflows on conveyor belts need to be measured in various process streams in mineral extraction processes to ensure good plant management. Conventional weightometers are, however, too expensive to allow a widespread installation in these processes. This study investigates more economic means to measure the massflow on horizontal conveyor belts. A deterioration of accuracy resulting from an instrument using this technique is expected, but the advantages of being able to instrument entire plants is very attractive. The study uses a model a whereby the kinetic energy of the belt system is determined during a perturbation to the system. From this the massflow can be determined.en_ZA
