Thayer Scale Has Weighing Solutions For a Wide Range of Food Segments

Cereal

Thayer Scale Breakfast Cereal Production Equipment

Known by many names, and varying in types of food amongst ancient civilizations, breakfast was radically transformed during the Industrial Revolution by the convenience and nutritional benefits of ready-to-eat cereals. Created accidentally by some historical accounts, ready-to-eat cereals redefined the first meal of the day for the hurried lifestyles of an increasingly metropolitan population. By 1909, the Battle Creek Toasted Corn Flake Company produced 120,000 cases of cereal daily. Today, cereal brand leaders rely on Thayer Scale equipment to produce the roughly 2.7 billion boxes of cereal consumed globally every year.

Tobacco

tobacco

The commercial manufacture of cigarettes had been a cottage industry until 1881 upon the invention of an automated cigarette-making machine. Within five years, James Buchanan Duke’s tobacco company was producing nearly a billion cigarettes annually.

More than half a century ago, Thayer Scale supplied its first weigh belt feeder to the largest tobacco company in the world. Today, our market-leading products and services for the tobacco industry remain durable, innovative, and cost-efficient. Many of these original units are still in operation maintaining measurement accuracies of ± 0.5% or better.
