Abstract: A modular apparatus for dispensing weight-controlled foodstuff portions includes a housing which supports a removable silo, feeder screw, and blocking plate components which discharge the foodstuff to a dosage cup. A capacitor transducer is employed to support the dosage cup and perform a weighing function. The housing has an opening for receiving foodstuff from the silo which leads to a feeder pathway. The removable feeder screw advances the food to the blocking plate which through a vibratory motion effects discharge to the dosage cup. An electronic control card inputs a weighing signal from the transducer for controlled operation of the apparatus.
