Model M Low Density Weigh Belt Feeder

Specifically designed to accurately weigh material in the 0.5 to 10 lbs/ft3 bulk density range and feed rate of 0.5 - 175 STPH.

One of Thayer Scale's specialty equipment lines is the Model "M" Low-Density Feeder line for weighing bulk materials having densities under 10 lb/ft³. A conventional feeder capable of weighing heavier products (typically 50 lb/ft³ and above) to an accuracy of ½% under limited weekly calibration attention, is likely to achieve no better than 3-4% accuracy when weighing a material having a density of only 5-10 lb/ft³.

These feeders find applications in tobacco, forest products (OSB & MDF), textiles, cereals and snacks (chips and flakes). Without question, Thayer Scale has more experience than any other manufacturer in weighing these lowdensity materials. With an outstanding performance record in over 1,000 installations, the THAYER Model M Low- Density feeder represents the standard to which all others are compared. Many of these feeders have been in operation for more than 30 years with the only modifications being instrumentation upgrades to better suit the interconnection needs of modern-day automation schemes, or re-rating of either the load or speed-sensing range to accommodate line capacity changes.

High accuracy, rugged measurement system 100% of the scale's capacity is used to weigh material. Dead weight of the weigh idler and belt is mass-counterbalanced, thus providing excellent resolution and a high signal to noise ratio. Thayer Scale's rugged load cell design assures reliable and accurate performance for the life of the weigh feeder.
