METHOD FOR CALCULATING BULK MATERIAL FEED RATES OR BULK MATERIAL LOADS OF A VIBRATORY MACHINE

In a method for calculating a bulk material conveying rate or a bulk material load of a vibratory conveyor machine, in which method raw measured data from the vibratory conveyor machine are acquired at at least two times with different load states by at least one acceleration, speed or travel sensor and raw measured data are then processed to give at least one vibration data feature from the list: amplitude, frequency and phase, provision is made to create and to store feature datasets consisting of at least one vibration data feature and to create a regression model on the basis thereof. Based on the created regression model and at least one current feature dataset, the current actual load or bulk material conveying rate of a vibratory conveyor machine is then ascertained and displayed.
