Sanitary Open Construction Weigh Belt Feeder - Thayer Scale-Hyer Industries

April 10, 2008
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:•    Handling a wide range of materials and densities•    Having excellent accuracy and stability•    Sanitary processing due to its all stainless steel construction•    Positive belt tracking, without the use of mechanical devices, thanks to a unique belt tracking system •    Easy access, with a low-maintenance design and no tools disassembly•    Durability and stability under harsh conditions •    Fast belt removal due to a cantilevered frame •    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.
