Weigh Belt Feeder is suited for sanitary applications.

Press Release Summary:




Constructed of SS, MWF-OS Sanitary Open Construction Weigh Belt Feeder can handle wide range of materials and densities. It can provide closed-loop gravimetric control of material feed rate or open-loop control for precise convey rate output and totalization of uncontrolled or intermittent material supply. Belt velocity is measured from tail pulley, providing direct measurement of belt speed. Load cell assembly can be removed and reinstalled without recalibration of feeder.

Thayer Scale Introduces the MWF-OS Sanitary Open Construction Weigh Belt Feeder



PEMBROKE, MA -- Thayer Scale, a pioneering developer of continuous weighing and feeding equipment, introduces the new MWF-OS Sanitary Open Construction Weigh Belt Feeder for processing of snack food, cereal, pasta, pet food and any other application where hygiene and ease of cleaning is important. The MWF-OS can provide either a "closed loop" gravimetric control of material feed rate or an "open loop" control for precise convey rate output and totalization of an uncontrolled or intermittent material supply.

The MWF-OS Sanitary Weigh Belt Feeder has been designed for:
o Handling a wide range of materials and densities
o Having excellent accuracy and stability
o Sanitary processing due to its all stainless steel construction
o Positive belt tracking, without the use of mechanical devices, thanks to a unique belt tracking system
o Easy access, with a low-maintenance design and no tools disassembly
o Durability and stability under harsh conditions
o Fast belt removal due to a cantilevered frame
o Rigid scale support system provides exceptional stability, assuring accuracy without frequent re-calibration.

Belt velocity is measured from the tail pulley, not the drive motor, providing a direct measurement of belt speed which improves both measurement and control of the material. The load cell assembly can be easily removed, then reinstalled without re-calibration of the feeder.

Founded in 1949, Thayer Scale is a pioneering developer of continuous weighing and feeding equipment for the dry solids conveying and processing industries. Thayer's Belt Scales and Weigh Feeders of both the Weigh Belt and Loss-in-Weight types, cover an extremely wide range of applications in virtually all industries that involve dry solids conveying and processing. From Loss-In-Weight Feeders that feed vitamins into cereals at rates below 1 pound per hour to 6-Idler Conveyor Scales weighing coal at rates up to 10,000 tons per hour, there are more than 100 proven product variations available to suit most application requirements.

Thayer Scale enjoys a unique reputation as a supplier of equipment that provides the rare combination of measurement precision and extreme robustness. Equipment installed more than 40 years ago continues to operate reliably and accurately.
