Abstract: An apparatus for making dilutions of a sample with a diluent to a predetermined dilution factor f by weight of the diluent is disclosed. A scale with TARE capability produces an output signal of the weight W of a sample within a container less the weight of the container. A dilution factor control is provided for setting the predetermined dilution factor f. Apparatus is provided for calculating and storing the value TW=W/f which is the total weight of the sample plus the weight of the diluent which is required to dilute the sample to the predetermined dilution factor f. A pump is connected between a reservoir of diluent and the container for the sample for pumping the amount of diluent into the container which is required to dilute the sample to the predetermined weight dilution factor f. The scale provides a continuous output of the weight W of the sample plus diluent in the container at any instant in time. Apparatus is provided for calculating when TW-W=0.

Abstract: A device for controlling and regulating the amount of product to be poured into the moulds of forming machines for chocolate and similar products, in which the conveyor belt carrying the filled moulds is fitted with a balance for weighing each single filled mould and for comparing the effective weight of the filled mould with a preset rated weight, the said balance being connected with a regulation mechanism for increasing or decreasing the quantity of chocolate or similar to be poured.
