History of Merrick

Herbert Merrick


In 1908, Herbert Merrick, engineer, developed the first dynamic weighing machine based on the idea of mechanically calculating gravimetric flow rates from belt speed and weight. Little did he realize that he would fundamentally change the way the world measured material flow.

Inception of Merrick Industries




Herbert Merrick began the Merrick Scale Manufacturing Company in Passaic, NJ, to produce his invention, the company has been in continuous operation ever since. MERRICK has remained a driving force in the advancement of dynamic weighing and material handling technology with a full line of solutions.

The Feed-O-Weight


The Feed-O-Weight, an automatic mechanically regulated weigh feeder, was introduced. The first Feed-O-Weights sold were retrofits of a customer’s coke oven conveyors into feeders. Weight on belt was regulated by raising and lowering the material shear gate to maintain a constant weight on the belt. Speed was manually set for the desired feed rate.
1930's

Merrick product line expansion


The Model “S” and Model “SV” weightometers are developed by John Christman.


The Model E integrator design was changed to the “plate” style, which eliminated the original heavy cast iron box. WT-1E Rate transducer introduced, providing a rate signal from the mechanical scale.
