Special Features & Options

The Thayer LWF-SC-V Loss In Weight Feeder is designed to assure uniform, nonpulsating accurate feeding of a wide range of materials, from free flowing to friable to cohesive.

Specialized Material Conditioning System:
The LWF-SC-V when fitted with Thayer's (optional) patented Spiralator vertical lift agitator creates a patented feeder system that assures conditioned and uniform flow of caking and cohesive powders as well as interlocking particles and delicate flakes.

Two feed tray designs available:
A) Standard mirror finish steel tray is used for non-cohesive pellets, graduals, fibers and flakes.
B) Optional, patented elastomer membrane insert fitted to our vibrating tray.

The Thayer Cable Suspension Scale (patented) is the most rugged and forgiving Load Cell Weighing System available on the market. It can take more physical abuse and can tolerate more foundation distortion/deflection than all other known designs.

The exclusive Thayer Scale "FMSS" design provides extremely high sensitivity. Feeder dead load is mass-counterbalanced so that only material weight (live load) is measured. This feature helps assure excellent control in noisy environments. All of the articulate parts of the scale mechanism are supported from axially inex- tensible, but laterally yieldable suspension elements (stainless steel pre-stressed aircraft cable), which are arranged to hang freely, thereby avoiding any appreciable spring or hysteresis effects, variations in mechanical advantage, or binding due to imperfect leveling.

Because of this unique mechanical property of the force transmission system, any laterally directed forces and shocks on the scale or its supported machinery can not cause destructive shear and bending stresses to develop in the elements themselves or at the load cell junction. The system, being yieldable in the lateral direction, is therefore effectively and completely protected by using laterally placed stops in proximity of the weighed structure.

Weight loss is measured by a highly accurate, very sensitive, high output electronic force measurement sensor. The Thayer Series LC-137 weight resolver is a force measuring device designed specifically for use with Thayer Scale weighing systems. It is a precision-built, heavy duty device designed for long term stability and accuracy under the most demanding applications. It is initially calibrated and installed by the factory and normally requires no routine maintenance. So rugged is the "FMSS" Scale system that the LC-137 Weight Resolver is guaranteed for 15-years.
