Abstract: An assembly of a load cell with an armature joined thereto and an electromagnet. The electromagnet and the armature are separately fixed and they are arranged such that a magnet force which is opposite to a deflection during a weighing procedure and which reduces a deflection caused by an impact momentum of an object to be weighed is exerted to the load cell when the electromagnet is activated.

Abstract: A separation device according to the invention has a separation means, for separating one part of a product stream, and at least one separation groove for transporting the separated product stream. Further, a reservoir is provided, wherein the separation groove is arranged in a way, that the separate product stream is transferrable into the reservoir. The reservoir is thereby formed in a way that the product stream can be transported, which is supplied from the separation groove into the reservoir.

Abstract: A filling device for a weighing device includes a loading device for the feeding of products, a transport area, which is supplied with products from the loading device, at least one sensor for capturing and forwarding of product occupation information on the transport area, and a control means. The at least one sensor is thereby formed to capture at least a partial area of the transport area and the control means is formed to divide the area captured by the at least one sensor virtually in a multiplicity of sectors. Further, a method for performing of a monitoring and capturing process of a filling of a filling device is disclosed.

Abstract: The invention relates to a grid flap (1) for use in a filling device or scale, especially in food processing, wherein the grid flap (1) comprises a metal frame (2) and a metal grid (4), and wherein the grid (4) comprises a plurality of braces (4h, 4v), which are connected to the frame (2) on their respective final sections.

Abstract: A weighing apparatus is described having a product transport surface (24) for transporting products thereon in a transporting direction (26). The product transport surface (24) has a plurality of grooves (28) which extend substantially parallel to each other and transversely to the transporting direction (26). In a cross section along the transporting direction (26), the upward sloping edges (32) and the downward sloping edges (30) of the grooves (28) form a saw tooth profile, wherein, when viewed in the transporting direction (26), each transition from the upward sloping edge (32) to the downward sloping edge (30) of two adjacent grooves (28) is sharp-edged. The product transport surface is particularly adapted for the transport of products having a soft, flexible and/or sticky surface. Also described are product transporting members in a weighing apparatus which are provided with such a product transport surface.
