In a dynamic scale and a weighing method therefor, an object to be weighed is received on a weighing unit of the dynamic scale and weight information of the object on the weighing unit is detected by the weighing unit. The weight information includes a number of items of weight information, which are supplied to a processor, and a derived weight value is determined in the processor by evaluation of a predetermined number of the items of weight information, and a quality value for the derived weight value is also determined in the processor by evaluation of the predetermined number of items of weight information. Depending on the quality value, it is established, in the processor, that the derived weight value is a valid weight value and, when it is established that the derived weight value is a valid weight value, the weighing unit is then fed with a new object.

A system and method for more accurately weighing a product on a continuous weigh belt. The system includes a processing element for determining a flow rate and a total weight of the product at a plurality of points on the weigh belt. A length of the weigh belt between product entrance and exit points is divided into discrete measurement units, or buckets. The weight of product in each bucket is determined. The total weight of product that has reached the entrance, exit, and one or more intermediate points on the weigh belt is determined by adding the weight of product attributed to all of the buckets that have reached each point. The flow rate of the product at these points is determined based on the weight of the product attributed to the particular bucket at each point and the speed of the weigh belt.
