Abstract: A weighing device with several weighing cells which are rigidly interconnected, and which have a load sensor with a predetermined load insertion direction, with at least one acceleration sensor and with at least one evaluating unit to which the weight signals generated by the weighing cells and the disturbance signals generated by the acceleration sensors can be transmitted. The evaluating unit uses a predetermined rule for each weighing cell to determine a correcting quantity from the disturbance signal of the acceleration sensor(s) as a function of the weighing cell geometric location relative to the geometric location of the acceleration sensor(s), and in that the weight signal, which is affected by the acceleration disturbance(s), of the relevant weighing cell is combined, with the correcting quantity in such a way that the influence of the acceleration disturbance(s) on the weight signal is substantially compensated.

Abstract: The invention relates to a weighing device with several weighing cells (3) which are mechanically rigidly interconnected, and which in each case have a load sensor (7) that has a predetermined load insertion direction and can be acted on by a load, with at least one acceleration sensor (9) for the detection of at least one acceleration disturbance and with at least one evaluating unit to which the weight signals generated by the weighing cells (3) and the disturbance signals generated by the acceleration sensors (9) can be transmitted.

Abstract: A process and apparatus for cutting food products, in which the products are individually delivered to a cutting device by causing the products to free-fall through a feed passage and then free-fall completely through the cutting means uninterrupted and entirely under the force of gravity. The food products are contacted and positioned as they drop through the feed passage prior to encountering the cutting device so as to produce size-reduced products of uniform size.
