Abstract: A blending scale for dosing and blending two products. The blending scale includes an auxiliary product dosing device, and an auxiliary product dispenser receiving the auxiliary product from the auxiliary product dosing device and releasing the auxiliary product within a dynamic unconstrained stream of the main product to produce and maximize a blend of the auxiliary and main products. A blend collector measures a quantity of the blend of the auxiliary and main products. A controller controls release of the auxiliary product in a synchronized manner with the dynamic unconstrained stream of the main product, based on the defined quantity of the auxiliary product measured by the auxiliary product dosing device. The dynamic stream of the main product is terminated once a targeted quantity of the blend measured by the blend collector is obtained. A method for accurately dosing and homogeneously blending two products is also disclosed.

Abstract: A bag filling apparatus for packing loose material into a bag, comprising a feeding hopper for receiving the loose material and a hollow tube connected to the feeding hopper. The hollow tube comprises an upper section connected to the feeding hopper and a lower section slideably mounted around the upper section and movable between a raised position and a lower position where the lower section extends into the bag. The lower position is used upon discharge of the loose material into the bag. The apparatus comprises dust collecting means for collecting dust within the lower section of the hollow tube when the lower section is in the lower position and the bag is filled with the loose material. The apparatus further comprises means for moving the lower section of the hollow tube along a substantially vertical axis between the raised and the lower positions.
