Durability or accuracy? With most belt scales, you get one or the other. With the patented design of Rice Lake's rugged BCi belt scale, now you can get both. This belt scale is not only one of the most accurate in its class, it's built to last. Ideal for mining, quarries, bulk material blending, process control operations, and truck/barge/rail load-out applications, the BCi easily handles capacities up to 10,000 tons per hour with unsurpassed accuracy.

The BCi's innovative integrator fits a wide variety of applications--from simple inventory reporting to automated load-out. This durable belt scale is capable of delivering real-time statistical data through a variety of wired, fiber optic, and wireless network options. The robust processing power and expanded networking capabilities enable the integrator to easily communicate with printers, PCs, remote displays, ERP systems, PLCs, and other peripheral equipment.
