First Look at the Loadscan Belt Scanner

Attendees at QuarryNZ 2018 in Hamilton’s Claudelands Events Centre will get an exclusive first look at the Loadscan belt scanner. This innovative conveyor measurement system provides real-time data on material moving across conveyor belts. Furthermore, it is expected to be available for purchase in the coming months, allowing quarries to optimize their production processes.

Advanced Conveyor Measurement Technology

The Loadscan CVS uses an above-belt lidar laser system to measure material quantity precisely. Specifically, it helps operators track production rates in both volume and tonnes. By monitoring conveyor flow in real-time, quarries can improve haulage efficiency, reduce errors, and maintain accurate inventory records.

Integration and Job Management

The belt scanner features an onboard API that integrates with dispatch systems. Consequently, operators can assign jobs, deliver specified quantities, and report results directly to the loader operator’s cab. This real-time feedback ensures every job begins accurately, improving quarry productivity and operational consistency.

Loadscan’s Legacy in Load Measurement

In addition to the belt scanner, Loadscan will exhibit its well-known load volume scanner (LVS). This system replaces manual measurement by comparing empty and loaded bin profiles for the same truck. As a result, operators achieve precise volumetric measurements, manage overburden stripping contracts efficiently, and deliver trade-approved quantities to customers. By removing guesswork, Loadscan improves payload accuracy and streamlines quarry operations.
