Thayer Scale Introduces New Sanitary “SI” Insertion Weigh Belt Feeder

Thayer Scale Introduces New Sanitary “SI” Insertion Weigh Belt Feeder
5 Sep 2024  |
Thayer Scale introduces a new sanitary version of its series model “SI” insertion weigh belt feeder. The “SI” is a unique feeder designed to easily fit into an existing production process, and now, with the sanitary stainless-steel construction and a wide range of new belt options, it can be used in many food processes that were previously not suitable for standard weigh belt feeders.

The new belting options include easy-to-clean wire mesh belting for high flow-through and high-heat applications, positive drive belts, high-temperature belts, and profiled belts. Belt widths range from 18” to 48”. The new sanitary weigh belt feeder has an optional vibrator pre-feeder to accommodate high downforce material drops with no loss of accuracy. The “SI” conveyor can be horizontal or inclined or declined by up to 20 degrees.

Like the standard series “SI” insertion weigh belt feeder, the new sanitary version utilizes Thayer Scale’s patented precision flexure plate suspension scale with FMSS technology. The scale provides for complete mass counterbalancing of the dead load of the conveyor, permitting the load sensor to react only to the net material load. This unique system is not affected by dirt, shocks, or vibration and can withstand overloads in excess of 1,000 pounds without causing damage or affecting calibration. The highly advanced and extremely robust sensing technology is based on either an LVDT or strain gauge load cell.

The Series “SI” ships with Thayer Scale’s standard instrumentation package, including the new WeighPoint™ integrator, enabling the system to operate as either a process stream integrator or as a process controller. 

Key Advantages:

  • Stainless-steel construction, sanitary
  • Conveyor belt widths from 18” to 48”
  • Flexible positioning, horizontal, inclined, or declined by up to 20 degrees
  • All-stainless FMSS suspension system
  • New belting options (wire mesh, high temperature, positive drive)
