Model FP – Flat Profile Conveyor Belt Scale
Thayer Scale’s Model FP delivers precision weighing of low density materials
Thayer Scale’s Model FP conveyor belt scales are a unique weighing solution specifically designed to accurately weigh “low density” materials. The weighing deck typically consists of 2 to 6 flat idlers, mounted either horizontally or at an incline of up to 12 degrees, depending on material handled. It can be used in new installations or can be seamlessly integrated into an existing conveyor.
Industry Applications
Typical applications include cereals, snack foods, pet foods, wood fibers, paper waste, tobacco, and textiles (bulk densities ranging from 0.5 to 25 pcf).
Food: rice, wheat, potatoes, whole eggs, chocolate, tomatoes, corn flakes, rice flakes, bran, cereal
Pulp & Paper / Wood Products: wood chips, wood waste, wood fiber, OSB mat, MDF
Chemical & Industrial: compost, hazardous waste, sludge, cement, rock wool
Tobacco: tobacco leaf
Energy & Building Products: coal

Core Technologies
FMSS™: Force Measurement Suspension System
Our patented FMSS™ technology is able to discriminate between net load measurement forces and all other undesirable extraneous forces, making load cells virtually immune to the detrimental effects of vibration.
Rocking Flexure Suspension
Our patented RF Flexure suspension system provides permanent axis stability with near-zero hysteresis and immunity to lateral force interference.
Secondary Lever System
Our secondary lever system mechanically counterbalances tare loads up to 200x net load, reduces idler deflection, and self-aligns under structural distortion.
Key Benefits
of Thayer Scale’s Model FP Flat Belt Profile Conveyor Belt Scale
A Winning Combination
Thayer Scale’s RF belt scales with FMSS mass counterbalanced technology ensures better than 80% load cell utilization.
🧱 Built to Survive
Our secondary lever and RF flexure design resist shocks, lateral forces, and overloads >1,000 lbs without compromising accuracy.
🌀 Precision Belt Speed Sensing
A precision speed sensing wheel resists material buildup and delivers reliable speed signals—critical for accurate totalization.
🧭 Long-Term Calibration Stability
Maintains accuracy over time under heavy overloading (1,000+ lbs.), reducing the need for frequent recalibration.
