Thayer Scale MSV Gravimetric Feeder, Compact, Highly Responsive and Accurate
13 Mar 2025  |
Thayer Scale’s MSV Gravimetric Feeder offers precise feed-rate control for free-flowing pellets and granules. It is compact, easy to clean, and economical.

A mass-counterbalanced low-profile cable scale with a robust, highly stable micro-lever system delivers higher accuracy, fast responsiveness, longer gravimetric cycles and higher turn-down. The MSV is designed in a small form-factor providing flexibility and efficient use of floor space.

The MSV feeder includes Thayer Scale’s low-profile cable scale utilizing a micro-lever system which counterbalances the tare weight, resulting in load-cell utilization significantly higher than other options. The higher load-cell utilization provides numerous benefits: higher accuracy, typically 0.25% of feed rate, fast responsiveness to changes in set point or material density fluctuations, resulting in higher quality ration material delivery and the elimination of “dead zones” common in gravimetric feeding applications.

Benefits:

  • Compact, easy-to-clean, economical
  • Micro-lever system, higher accuracy, fast responsiveness
  • Longer gravimetric cycles
  • Exceeding industry standards for Safety and Sanitation

MSV Key Design Features:

  • Quick-release, tool-free changeover of screws and tubes
  • Rapid clean out of the V-through feed section
  • Easy access to all serviceable components
  • Modular, flexible design enabling clustering of up to 6 feeders
