| 20090008158 | HOLDING FIXTURE FOR A DRIVE UNIT OF A CONVEYING DEVICE - The invention relates to a holding fixture for the drive unit of a transport device that transports products to be weighed, wherein, for transferring the weight force to be detected, the holding fixture is arranged between the transport device and the weighing cell detecting the weight. | 01-08-2009 |
| 20090255736 | Load cell unit, weight checker, electronic balance, and balance - A load cell unit which can satisfactorily measure the weight of a measured object if ambient temperature changes, and a weight checker and an electric balance using the load cell unit, are provided. A strain generating element includes plural strain generating portions. Each of strain gauges is a gauge of a temperature/sensitivity compensated type and is placed in a position on a corresponding strain generating portion. A bridge circuit includes the strain gauges. A zero compensation element compensates the zero of the bridge circuit in accordance with the temperature of the strain generating element, to roughly correct an output of the bridge circuit. A thermal sensitive resistor is a temperature sensor for detecting the temperature of the strain generating element. The zero compensation element and the thermal sensitive resistor are provided on a thick portion interposed between adjacent strain generating portions. A signal processor minutely corrects a roughly-corrected output of the bridge circuit. Thus, software compensation of zero can be further provided to an output of the bridge circuit, to which circuital compensation of zero is provided. | 10-15-2009 |
| 20090277693 | Apparatus and Method for Weighing a Product Flow - The present invention relates to an apparatus for weighing a product flow, comprising an endless conveyor belt for transporting the product flow thereon in a transport direction, wherein a width direction extends in an imaginary transport plane substantially transversely of the transport direction, and wherein a carrying direction extends substantially transversely of the transport plane, wherein one or more transition parts are arranged slightly inward of the outer edges in the width direction, wherein a middle part is situated between the transition parts, and wherein the transition part is adapted to provide the middle part with a substantially flexible suspension in the carrying direction and/or the transport direction of the conveyor belt relative to the outer edges. | 11-12-2009 |
| 20100059291 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR WEIGHING PARTICULATE MATERIAL MOVING ON A CONVEYOR - A system and method for weighing varying throughput of conveyed particulate material. The system has a weighing unit for measuring weight of material conveyed on a span of the conveyor and a speed monitoring unit to monitor the speed of the conveyor. A control module is programmed to calculate the instant value of material conveyed per unit length of the conveyor. An output from the control module reduces conveyor speed in response to a reduction in measured weight of material conveyed and increases conveyor speed in response to an increase in measured weight of material conveyed. High accuracy of measurement of the weight of particulate material being conveyed even when the conveyor is lightly loaded. | 03-11-2010 |
| 20100175931 | AUTOMATIC WEIGHING DEVICE FOR HAIR DYE COLORANTS AND RELATED SYSTEM - A device for weighing the colorants used in the preparation of hair dyes, including a plurality of collecting bins ( | 07-15-2010 |
| 20100314177 | CHECKWEIGHER WITH INDEPENDENT SCALES - A checkweigher for the in-motion weighing of objects being transported along a conveyor line. A checkweigher of the present invention employs a plurality of scales each having its own set of weighing conveyor elements. For example, a first scale may be associated with a set of lighter weight chains to convey and weigh smaller objects, while a second scale may be associated with a set of heavier weight chains to convey and weigh larger objects. This design essentially allows the incorporation of a lightweight and heavyweight checkweigher within one common checkweigher frame. The problem of noise caused by one set of conveyor elements associated with one scale affecting the accuracy of the other scale(s) is eliminated by locating the conveying surfaces of the conveyor elements associated with the individual scales in different planes. Thus, objects transported by one weighing conveyor exert no load on the conveyor elements of the other weighing conveyor(s). | 12-16-2010 |
| 20110114395 | WEIGHT-CHECKING APPARATUS - A weight-checking apparatus is adapted to check weight of an object while conveying the object in a predetermined direction. The weight-checking apparatus includes a conveying part, a weighing part and a control part. The conveying part is configured and arranged to convey the object in the predetermined direction. The weighing part is configured and arranged to weigh the object. The control part is configured to control the conveying part so that a conveying speed of the conveying part is reduced to a predetermined conveying speed according to a conveyance condition of the object being conveyed in an upstream of the weighing part. | 05-19-2011 |
| 20120111644 | ELECTRONIC BELT SCALE WITH MULTIPLE ACCUMULATIVE QUANTITIES - An electronic belt scale with multiple accumulative quantities comprises: multiple groups of weighing units ( | 05-10-2012 |
| 20130186696 | COMBINATION WEIGHER - A combination weigher including a dispersion unit adapted to radially disperse product material dropped in from above onto the dispersion unit, plurality of weighing hoppers, plurality of conveyor units arranged around and below a periphery of the dispersion unit. The conveyor units include troughs having infeed ends positioned below the dispersion units and outfeed ends positioned above the weighing hoppers, and spiral shaped members extending from the infeed ends towards the outfeed ends. Spiral shaped members being operable connected to an operation unit for operating a rotational movement of the spiral shaped members conveying the product material from the infeed ends towards the outfeed ends into the weighing hoppers. Conical shaped members are arranged within the spiral shaped members. | 07-25-2013 |

| 20080217071 | Gravimetric Metering Device for Bulk Products - The invention aims at obtaining a simplified and compact construction of a gravimetric metering device ( | 09-11-2008 |
| 20120061150 | Rotary Carousel Scale - The present invention provides a high-accuracy rotary carousel scale with a rotary platter. The rotary carousel scale utilizes a plurality of load cells of either planar-beam or single-point type, fitted with a stabilizing structure and wheels to support the rotary platter. The stabilizing structure prevents side forces and moment forces being applied to the load cells, allowing their full accuracy to be maintained, as well as protecting them from damage. The rotary platter provides support for, and weighs, bags of purchased products in the self-checkout and related industries and is rotated to access individual bags during filling. The rotary carousel scale can incorporate devices to prevent damage to the load cells during an overload. Alternatively, the rotary carousel scale can rely for this on overload prevention built-into the load cell mount. | 03-15-2012 |
