  • Publication number: 20110079448
    Abstract: An automated weighing and filling station that operates without slowing the primary feed transfer. The system includes a bulk product supply, such as a hopper. A primary feed system delivers the product from the bulk product supply to the weighing station which includes two or more independent scale weigh hoppers with a diverter system operating between the two scale weigh hoppers. Each of the scale weigh hoppers empties into a discharge hopper. The primary feed system delivers the product to the diverter system at a constant speed. The diverter system delivers the product from the primary feed system to a first of the scale weigh hoppers until the scale weigh hopper anticipates that the determined weight will be achieved. At that time, the diverter moves the product from the primary feed system to the second of the scale weigh hoppers. The flow of product from the primary feed system is not slowed or stopped, but continues to operate at a constant speed.
