Abstract: A packer scale comprises a weighing hopper which is supplied with objects dropped from above, holds the objects for a specified period and discharges the objects downward; first to fourth load cells having shaft-like load application sections, respectively; and first to fourth suspending units which suspend the weighing hopper such that the weighing hopper is mounted to the load application sections of the first to fourth load cells; the weighing hopper includes a hopper body having a tubular shape with a rectangular cross-section, in a plan view; and the first to fourth suspending units are mounted to an upper portion of the hopper body, in locations which are in the vicinity of corner portions of the tubular shape.

Abstract: A weighing apparatus comprise a large throw-in weighing hopper which is fed with objects having a weight which is less than a target weight of the objects, holds the objects which are weighed, and discharges the weighed objects; a plurality of medium throw-in weighing hoppers which are respectively fed with the objects having weights adjusted with a different ratio, hold the objects for which combination calculation is performed based on the weights of the objects, and discharge the objects based on a result of the combination calculation; and a loss-in weight hopper which is used in loss-in weighing and performs loss-in discharge of the objects.

Abstract: A weighing apparatus (100) comprise a large throw-in weighing hopper (21) which is fed with objects having a weight which is less than a target weight of the objects, holds the objects which are weighed, and discharges the weighed objects; a plurality of medium throw-in weighing hoppers (64, 65, 66, 44) which are respectively fed with the objects having weights adjusted with a different ratio, hold the objects for which combination calculation is performed based on the weights of the objects, and discharge the objects based on a result of the combination calculation; and a loss-in hopper (42) which is used in loss-in weighing and performs loss-in discharge of the objects.

Abstract: A dispersion feeder used in a combination weighing machine for distributively feeding product to be weighed out to a plurality of weighing units arranged around it. The feeder is characterized in that it includes a mechanism for effecting rotational movement of the center or apex of its dispersion table. This movement exerts a centrifugal force on product fed onto the table, including product in and near the center of the table, thereby ensuring that such product is removed from the table.
