Abstract

See full text

Dispensing systems and methods contemplated herein are configured to adjust a first continuous product flow rate to a second continuous but variable flow rate in at least two control modes. Most preferably, a moving average is determined for the second flow rate to provide a first level of control, and a loss-in-weight feedback is determined for the first flow rate to provide a second, finer level of control, which will be abandoned when the feedback moves beyond a predetermined threshold relative to a calculated product flow rate.
