Method for weighing an object transported on a mover of an electromagnetic conveyor and electromagnetic conveyor. Method includes lifting object off the mover with a lifting device; setting down object onto at least one transport plane of a weighing station arranged at a weighing region of the track and arranged on at least one weigh cell. The transport plane extends in the direction of movement to support the object when in the weighing station. The method also includes actively driving object while lifted off from the mover and while supported on the transport plane with the mover as it moves along the track through a weighing region; weighing object with at least one weigh cell while the object is supported by the transport plane; and setting down object on the mover after weighing in the weighing station for onward movement of object along the track with the mover.

Provided is a weighing apparatus with a flowmeter function includes a load sensor unit configured to detect a load of a flow rate calculation target, an A/D conversion unit configured to sequentially convert load signals from the load sensor unit into digital load data at predetermined intervals, an arithmetic processing unit configured to sequentially convert the load data into weighed values to calculate flow rate values, and a storage unit for storing the weighed values. The arithmetic processing unit calculates change amounts in weighed values and calculates a flow rate value based on a flow rate calculation cycle set based on a minimum time by which the change amounts become equal to or more than a change amount in weighed value, the change amount being calculated based on a minimum indication of weighed value and the required resolution of weighed value and satisfying a required resolution.

A device and method for the non-formatted weighing of a group of products. The products rest either on a positioning surface or on a supporting surface and, due to the relative movement of the two surfaces with respect to one another, are transferred from one surface to the other surface. By the acquisition of the weight of at least one of the two surfaces, the weight of each individual product can be determined.

Checkweigher system embodiments and associated weigh-in-motion methods that are usable to produce increased object weigh time and improved weight determination accuracy without a decrease in object throughput. Generally speaking, exemplary methods initiate weight data collection earlier than, and terminate weight data collection later than, known methods. An exemplary method may also make use of derived mean error data associated with object weight measurements at various locations along a checkweigher to determine if an object weight measured over less than a desired weigh time is nonetheless acceptable.
