Belt Weighfeeder or Conveyor with a Belt Scale? Why They Are Not the Same

I regularly encounter situations where a customer considers fitting a standard belt scale to an existing conveyor — rather than using a dedicated belt weighfeeder. The logic seems straightforward: "I already have a conveyor, I'll add a scale and start dosing." Some want to place the scale on a collecting conveyor and regulate the material stream using devices upstream. It is an understandable approach — it appears to save budget and makes use of existing infrastructure or available production capacity.
