Abstract
In this study, a specific design and manufacturing of a weight measurement system for tuber crops on a belt scale were conducted. The chassis of the belt scale was constructed by equal legs steel profile. The belt material was PVC. The rotational motion of the belt scale was obtained by an AC electric motor. The speed of the belt was measured by a tachometer. Several rollers were used to support the vertical loads on the belt. One of the rollers was connected directly to load cell to measure the weight of the tuber crops. In order to obtain the mass flow on the belt, the data of weight per unit meter from load cell and the speed data from tachometer were transmitted to an electronic board. Multiplication of these two data gives the unit mass flow rate of the tuber crops on the belt scale. The unit mass flow rate and total mass flow rate was displayed on an LCD display. The accuracy of this system was found to be between 96.4% - 97.5% during measurement of weight on a moving belt scale.

Bant Konveyör Üzerinde Yumru Bitkilerin Ağırlıklarının Ölçülmesi İçin Ölçme Sisteminin Geliştirilmesi
Abstract
Bu araştırmada, yumru bitkilerinin hareketli bir bant kantarı üzerinde ilerlerken ağırlıklarını anlık ve toplam olarak ölçen bir sistemin tasarımı ve üretimi yapılmıştır. Bant kantarının şasisi köşebent profilden imal edilmiştir. Sistemde PVC bant kullanılmış ve bandın dönüş hareketi bir elektrik motoru ile sağlanmıştır. Bant hızı bir takometre ile anlık olarak ölçülmüştür. Düşey yükleri taşımak için bant altında rulolar kullanılmıştır. Bu rulolardan biri ağırlık ölçmek için yük hücresine bağlanmıştır. Yük hücresinden gelen birim metredeki ağırlık bilgisi ile takometreden gelen hız bilgisi kullanılarak bir elektronik devre yardımı ile birim zamanda geçen yük miktarı hesaplanmıştır. Bu bilgiler LCD ekranda anlık olarak gösterilmiştir. Yapılan denemeler sonucunda %96.4 - %97.5 arasında doğruluk payıyla ağırlık hesabı yapılmıştır.
