Cereal Production & Processing Machines

The composition and process steps of today’s ready-to-eat cereals are considerably more complex than those of early cereals produced over a century ago. Expanding food safety rules pose additional challenges for today’s cereal producers.

Thayer Scale’s long history of collaboration with finished product quality and food safety stakeholders in the cereal space has led to the development of a broad suite of food-safe, accurate and repeatable continuous weighing solutions engineered to meet the specialized needs of today’s cereal processors.

Laying the foundation for enhanced efficiency and industrial process connectivity, Thayer Scale’s WeighPoint™ Instrumentation System harnesses four decades of instrumentation technical ability and innovation to deliver a sleek, user-friendly platform. Paving the way for IIoT and connected devices, the WeighPoint™ seamlessly integrates with facility communication protocols to facilitate rapid alignment to unique recipe set points of numerous product SKU’s. The WeighPoint™ features an easy-to-use interface to Thayer Scale’s advanced suite of unique task-specific algorithms and functions. Comprehensive calibration, machine learning, predictive maintenance, cloud back-up and remote diagnostic capabilities ensure a long-term, low cost of ownership.

Various analyses of the global cereal market project growth at a CAGR of 2.33 to 5.08% over the next five years. Thayer Scale stands ready to help cereal producers meet any processing and food safety requirements.
