Broad Suite of Sanitary and Hygienic Equipment
Hygienic Weigh Feeder Offers Next Level Sanitation and High Accuracy Weighing
Thayer Scale’s HWF model Hygienic Weigh Feeder is designed to accurately weigh food and dairy products which are subject to stringent sanitation requirements. The feeder provides a flow rate measurement solution for the enhanced food safety processing segment. Thayer Scale developed the HWF model to help the sanitary space meet the challenges of this new era of smarter food safety initiatives imposed by the Food Safety Modernization Act (FSMA). The HWF is designed and built in accordance with the applicable provisions of NAMI (North American Meat Institute), 3-A, NSF and USDA specifications for industry segments that require compliance with food traceability rules and food safety plans.

Compliance with FSMA Hygienic Food Traceability Rules and Food Safety Plans
Thayer Scale’s Model HWF Hygienic Weigh Feeder is designed and built in accordance with the applicable provisions of 3-A, USDA, and NSF design standards to:
- Provide accurate and repeatable in-process bulk material flow rate measurement for mass balance calculations and process control.
- Reduce sanitation time – the HWF disassembles quickly without hand tools to optimize sanitation effectiveness.
- Tolerate high pressure, high-temperature sanitation evolutions without calibration drift or compromising measurement sensitivity.
- Provide a long-term, low cost of ownership with rugged, “Built-to-Survive” construction.
- Assist with GMP (Good Manufacturing Practices), HACCP (Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points) and HARPC (Hazard Analysis and Risk-Based Preventive Controls) program compliance.
