Abstract

See full text

The present invention is directed to a weighing station that comprises a positioning apparatus, a drive mechanism, and a scale apparatus. In one embodiment, the positioning apparatus includes a plurality of partitions that define a plurality of product compartments. The positioning apparatus further includes a guide wall located beyond the exterior end of the partitions, with the guide wall defining a loading aperture where product may be loaded into the weighing station and a discharge aperture where product is weighed and then exits the station. The drive mechanism is coupled to the positioning apparatus and is operable to move the partitions and thereby move the product compartments so that the product compartments pass the guide wall apertures. The scale apparatus is positioned at the leading edge of the discharge aperture in the guide wall and is operable to weigh product.
