A weighing system for weighing an item when being conveyed comprising: at least one container for transporting the item; a conveyor means for conveying said container in a first vertical direction; and a weighing device for weighing the container;
wherein the container is connected to the conveyor means via a primary connecting means and a secondary connecting means, each of them comprising a first section permanently connected to the container, a second section permanently connected to the conveyor means, and a third section hingedly connected to both the first section and the second section;
and wherein the third section of the primary connecting means is rotatable about a first axis transverse to the conveying direction and the third section of the secondary connecting means is rotatable about a second axis parallel to said conveying direction such that the container may move from the first vertical position to a second vertical position.

A conveyor and metering device having a continuous conveyor belt or conveyor band, sub-regions of this conveyor belt or conveyor band being mounted on weighing devices for determining the mass of the conveyed material, which are connected to an electronic evaluation device, the weighing devices generating a signal proportional to the load of the conveyor belt or conveyor band and transmitting it to the evaluation device, weighing devices are provided, each of which includes a bearing bracket, which is used to receive an attachment in a form-filling manner from the outside, preferably from above, through an opening in the frame of the conveyor and metering device during the operation of the conveyor.

A weight checker includes a transport unit, a weighing unit, a body, and a frame. The transport unit transports products under inspection. The weighing unit determines the weights of the products under inspection on the transport unit. The body has a screen relating to the weighing performed by the weighing unit. The frame anchors the transport unit and the weighing unit. The frame has rail members that extend in a transport direction of the transport unit. The body is independent of the transport unit and the weighing unit and is mounted to the rail members such that its position in the transport direction TD can be changed.

An assembly line grow pod includes a seeding region, a harvesting region, a track that extends between the seeding region and the harvesting region, a cart including a tray for holding plant matter, and a wheel coupled to the tray, where the wheel is engaged with the track, and a weight sensor positioned on the cart or the track, where the weight sensor is positioned to detect a weight of the plant matter positioned within the cart.

A method for optimizing the running properties of a rotating belt of a weighing belt conveyor includes, for at least one rotation of the belt, determining a unique reference position on the belt. A force signal is determined in dependence on the movement of the belt with respect to the reference position during the at least one rotation. From this force signal, the course of a deviation of the force signal from a set value as a consequence of a disruptive force is determined. At least in correspondence with the direction of the determined deviation, the mass of the belt is increased or reduced at locations in dependence on the position of the belt with respect to the reference position

An integral weighing and sorting system that weighs articles on a roller belt and selectively actuates or deactuates belt rollers to divert selected articles. After an article is weighed on the roller belt, its weight is compared to a predetermined weight range. Out-of-range articles are directed to exit the belt via a different route from that of in-range articles by actuating the rollers to rotate in a direction transverse to the travel direction in a roller-actuation zone.

A construction machine, which is a feeder vehicle or a road finisher, comprises an operating platform, a material hopper, a conveyor belt system and an electronic control system. The conveyor belt system comprises a conveyor belt and one or more weight sensors which are configured to measure weight force of paving material located on the conveyor belt. In addition, the conveyor belt system comprises one or more inclination sensors which are configured to measure an inclination angle and/or a roll angle of the conveyor belt system. The electronic control system is configured to receive and process data from the one or more weight sensors and the one or more inclination sensors to calculate a mass of the paving material.
