Abstract

See full text

A method and apparatus for supplying articles in an automatic weighing system in which a number of weighing hoppers are arranged in sets composed of two weighing hoppers each. The weighing hoppers in each set provide weight values indicative of the weight of the articles contained in the hoppers, and a combinatorial computation is performed based on the weight values. Those of the weighing hoppers that correspond to an optimum combination of the weight values are selected and are caused to discharge their articles. These weighing hoppers are resupplied with articles from pool hoppers, with one pool hopper being provided for each set of weighing hoppers.
