Thayer Scale’s food-safe low-volume metering solutions preserve the natural appearance of fresh, blanched, or dehydrated inclusions. The vibratory Loss-In-Weight feeder gently meters a broad range of materials with fragile or asymmetrical particle shapes in a reliable, pulse-free manner. The model MWF-OS sanitary weigh belt feeder features an open-style construction that simplifies cleaning. With all-stainless steel-construction and two wash-down construction levels, it is the ideal weigh feeder to meet sanitary requirements in the food industry. The MWF-OS is used by major brands for sanitary food applications, including snack foods, cereal, nuts, sugar-coated and glycerated raisins, kibble and animal feed.
Thayer Scale’s SI sanitary insertion weigh belt feeder is a unique feeder designed to easily fit into an existing production process to provide real-time continuous flow rate measurement and control. It consists of a short conveyor directly coupled to a mass counterbalanced weight sensing system. With sanitary stainless-steel construction and compatible with a wide range of stiffer and less flexible belt types not typically compatible with standard weigh belt service, such as modular plastic and wire mesh belts, Thayer Scale’s Model SI can be used in many food processes where conventional weigh belts do not fit.
Available with a wide range of standard options, these flow rate measurement and control solutions can be tailored to any process layout, sanitation requirement, or budget.
