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 pasta dosing machine is described, comprising at least one channel for roughing the pasta, provided with first dosing means, a first basket for collecting the dosed pasta and a device adapted to weigh the pasta collected in said first basket, at least one channel for finishing the pasta, provided with second dosing means, and a further basket for collecting the pasta unloaded from said first basket and from said finishing channel, and a further device adapted to weigh the pasta collected in said further basket.

A scale controller system and method of using the system is disclosed. The scale controller is adapted for use with a grain cart or similar implement that includes a discharge opening and conveyor. The system includes a scale and a plurality of sensors that work together to automate numerous functions that are typically performed manually. For example, the present invention discloses a system that automatically records the amount of material loaded or unloaded by continuously monitoring the load on a scale and the RPMs of a power take-off shaft that drives a conveyor.

The present invention relates to a guide unit for measurement acting as a guide for measuring the micro-weight of fine grains having minute weight and volume, such as powders, granules, seeds and pills, and to a micro-weight measuring system for accurately measuring the fine grains by a preset micro-weight by using the guide unit for measurement. The present invention has an effect of being capable of measuring the micro-weight as a unit to thereby package fine grains such as powders, granules, seeds and pills by micro-weight unit. In addition, the present invention has an effect of being capable of accurately measuring the fine grains by the preset micro-weight in such a manner that in the procedure of discharging a one-unit-micro-weight of the fine grains, some of the fine grains are discharged at a smaller amount than the initially-discharged amount and are finally discharged by dropping.

Provided is a device for weighing a wide variety of ingredients and a system configuration of the device for weighing a wide variety of ingredients, the device weighing and feeding several types of ingredients when cup noodles such as instant noodles are packed with the ingredients in a cup. A space-saving and easily maintainable device for weighing a wide variety of ingredients, wherein powdery and granular starting materials (A, B) are individually stored in a first starting material hopper (2) and a second starting material hopper (3), gradually sent out to the downstream side, weighed, discharged to a first chute (10) and a second chute (11), and supplied to a cup-filling unit (23), and one series from the first starting material hopper (2) to the first chute (10) and one series from the second starting material hopper (3) to the second chute (11) are formed vertically parallel in the shape of a staircase from the upstream side to the downstream side. The device can mix a wide variety of ingredients, improves workability by the size and weight reduction of the starting material hoppers, and achieves space saving resulting from the reduction of floor space to half, and easier cleaning.

A system, device and method for accurately and efficiently dispensing powder for loading ammunition. The dispenser or loader is configured to autonomously determine the powder type and the dispense rate of powder is determined for selected rotational speeds based on powder type. The most efficient dispensing regime is determined using a number of fixed speeds of barrel rotation wherein switch points among the speeds of barrel rotation, stopping points and trickle rates to approach a target weight without overshooting.
