A method for the partial emptying of buoyant objects, which are stored in a loading aid having at least one opening is provided. A processing weight to be partially emptied is established. A fill weight is determined of the objects in the loading aid via a first weighing. The loading aid is at least partially immersed in a liquid bath. The loading aid is positioned or moved for a retention time predefined as a function of the fill weight and of the processing weight in the bath such that there is an on-average constant flow relative to the loading aid and such that the opening is disposed at least partially below a fill level surface of the bath, whereby the objects are taken along by the flow. The at least partially emptied loading aid is lifted out of the bath after the retention time has elapsed.

A weighing system fills capsules with a product, each capsule having a body. The weighing system includes a weighing unit with a weighing cell and a gripping element connected to the weighing cell by means of a loading stem and provided with a housing for receiving and/or retaining a capsule or body to be weighed. The weighing system also includes a connecting element rigidly fixed to the loading stem and slidably and elastically supporting the gripping element that is movable between a measuring position, wherein the gripping element is completely supported by the loading stem and spaced from an abutment wall of the weighing unit by an elastic element, and an end-stroke position reached by contrasting the thrust of the elastic element, wherein the gripping element abuts the abutment wall.

A mass measuring apparatus includes a transferring and gripping device for removing an article from a seat of a movement device, holding the article in a measuring position, and then reinserting the article into the seat. The transferring and gripping device includes a gripping element for holding the article, an actuator for operating with an actuating signal on the gripping element to make the gripping element vibrate at a specific resonance frequency, a sensor for measuring a vibration response signal of the gripping element vibrating and supporting the article in the measuring position, a processing unit for receiving the vibration response signal and controlling the actuator to generate an actuating signal to make the gripping element vibrate at an operating resonance frequency, and then calculating a mass of the article by comparing the operating resonance frequency with the resonance frequency of the gripping element.

A method for operating a mixing apparatus of a manufacturing plant comprises supplying multiple powdered products to the mixing apparatus. An inlet mass flow rate of the multiple powdered products into the mixing apparatus and a weight of the multiple powdered products in the mixing apparatus are measured. The multiple powdered products in the mixing apparatus are mixed to form a mixed product. The weight of the multiple powdered products in the mixing apparatus and an outlet mass flow rate of the mixed product from the mixing apparatus are predicted based on the measured inlet mass flow of the multiple powdered products. The predicted outlet mass flow rate of the mixed product from the mixing apparatus is corrected based on the measured weight of the multiple powdered products in the mixing apparatus. The mixed product is processed into final products
