A pan scale for weighing and ejecting fiber components onto a mixing belt includes an upwardly open container having a plurality of side walls and a bottom formed by a single piece comprising a rotatably hinged bottom flap rotatable from a closing position abutting on one of the side walls into an open position folded away from such side wall, or two pieces comprising rotatably hinged bottom flaps that are rotatable away from one another from an inner closing position abutting against one another into an outer open position. The single bottom flap or at least one of the two bottom flaps includes a retaining device on a bottom surface thereof. Upon opening of the respective bottom flap, a part of the fiber components are retained in the container by the retaining device up to a partial opening angle () of the bottom flap.

An electromechanical actuating drive (1) for a bulk-goods shut-off element, comprising an electric motor (2) and a control and drive electronics unit (3) associated with the electric motor (2), wherein the electromechanical actuating drive (1) comprises a mechanism for storing energy.

The hopper body has a third sidewall and a fourth sidewall that face each other in a second direction intersecting with the first direction and that connect between the first sidewall and the second sidewall, and a first corner portion adjacent to the distal end portion of the trough in the third sidewall and a second corner portion adjacent to the distal end portion of the trough in the fourth sidewall are bent in direction away from the distal end portion of the trough and also a first edge portion adjacent to the distal end portion of the trough in the first corner portion and a second edge portion adjacent to the distal end portion of the trough in the second corner portion are bent in direction closer to the distal end portion of the trough.

A transportable container apparatus includes an elongate container having a central axis and a base attached to a bottom end of the container. The container and base are substantially symmetrical about the central axis and the container is oriented substantially vertically with the base resting on a ground surface when in a working position. The container having an upper container section with upper walls substantially parallel to the central axis and a lower container section with lower walls substantially parallel to the central axis. The upper container section includes a sloping hopper at a bottom thereof to direct granular material into the lower container section. A floor of the container is sloped toward an outlet port defined in a ported wall of the lower container section such that granular material stored in the container slides down the floor to the outlet port.

A combination weighing apparatus including a plurality of units arranged to form a circumference in a horizontal direction, wherein the plurality of units include weighing hoppers, each of which holds, weighs and discharges the object. The combination weighing apparatus comprises at least one small unit and at least one large unit, and: each of the weighing hoppers is a single-chamber weighing hopper or a double-chamber weighing hopper, the small unit includes the single-chamber weighing hopper and does not include the double-chamber weighing hopper, and the large unit includes the double-chamber weighing hopper and does not include the single-chamber weighing hopper; and/or some of the plurality of units include memory hoppers each of which is disposed below the weighing hopper, holds the objects discharged from the weighing hopper and discharges the objects, the small unit does not include the memory hopper, and the large unit includes the memory hopper.
