Rice Lake BCi Belt Scale Weigh Frame – 18 to 72 in Conveyor

The Rice Lake BCi Belt Scale Weigh Frame is a rugged, durable solution for continuous weighing and material flow monitoring in medium- to heavy-capacity conveyor applications. Designed for standard conveyors using CEMA-C idlers, the BCi requires minimal conveyor modifications for installation. The BCi uses four laterally opposed shear beam load cells mounted within a unitized idler frame. This design helps compensate for torque loads and speed changes while providing reliable weighing performance. The frame has no moving parts and is fabricated from heavy-gauge steel for demanding industrial environments. With conveyor widths from 18 to 72 inches and capacities up to 10,000 tons per hour, the BCi is well suited for mining, quarrying, bulk material blending, process control, utilities, and truck, barge, or rail loading applications. Key Features Designed for standard conveyors using CEMA-C idlers 18–72 in conveyor widths Capacity up to 10,000 tons/hour Four laterally opposed shear beam load cells No moving parts Heavy-gauge steel construction Minimal conveyor modifications required Unitized idler frame design Helps compensate for torque loads and speed changes Suitable for medium- to heavy-capacity applications Designed for continuous in-motion belt weighing Idler is not included; customer is responsible for mounting the idler to the weigh frame.
