The present disclosure relates to a weighing and transport device and a method for transporting and detecting mass flow rates of bulk material.

In filling cycles, a weighing container is closed at its upper inlet and lower outlet, whereupon bulk material id fed directly to the weighing container.

In weighing cycles, the upper inlet and the lower outlet are opened and the bulk material is discharged via an impact means, e.g., an impact cone.

A level sensor measures a filling level of the bulk material in the weighing container; an actuator serves to close the upper inlet and the lower outlet. Preferably, the lower outlet is closed by the impact means, and the upper inlet is closed by raising the weighing container against a support means, where, in particular, a common adjustment can be carried out via the actuator.

A train loading system for loading material onto cars of a train is disclosed. The system comprises a material bin arranged to receive material to be loaded onto the train, a closure device arranged to facilitate control by an operator of the amount of material loaded into each car from the material bin, and a car mass estimator arranged to estimate the mass of material loaded into each car. The system also comprises a display arranged to communicate to the operator the estimated mass of material loaded into each car. A corresponding method is also disclosed.

A dispensing system is disclosed for dispensing material from multiple hoppers to a convey line. As disclosed, material is dispensed from the hoppers via operation of a variable rate feed device. The application discloses a controller device configured to utilize input from a first load cell for a first hopper and a second load cell for a second hopper to determine a mass flow rate to increase or decrease the feed rate so that the flow rate of material dispensed into the convey line matches a set mass flow rate of material. In the embodiments disclosed, the hoppers include hoppers connected in series to the convey line and hoppers connected in parallel to the convey line. The controller device determines the mass flow rate based upon input from one of the first or second load cells during a first time period and both the first and second loads cells during a second time period for different operating phases of the system.

A weighing machine for products in a packaging assembly comprising a vibrating convex disc; a plurality of vibrating trays, a plurality of feeding hoppers, a plurality of weighing hoppers, and a plurality of chutes arranged in a circular pattern; each of the plurality of feeding hoppers comprising a cantilevered flap configured to rotate around a horizontal pivot axis, a counterweight member extending opposite the cantilevered flap, the counterweight member including a plate member configured to slide along at least one groove in relation to the horizontal pivot axis to adjust an effective weight of the counterweight member; a pair of alternating horizontal sliding conveyors; and a pair of transport conveyors positioned under the pair of alternating horizontal sliding conveyors.

Automatic machine for inserting in an homogeneous and metered manner into stuffed articles of various kind, in particular but not exclusively clothes articles, of stuffing material of various kind such as polyester fibers, plumage and the like, adapted to maintain the heat into the same articles. Machine into which it is introduced the stuffing material contained into bags or containers provided by the producing and transforming firms of the same material, and such material is introduced and collected into a collecting and stocking container, from which the material is let to fall into underlying weighing containers communicating with the container, for weighing the material by loading cells, and the weighed material is subsequently transferred into an injection station adapted to insert and inject the same material into the pockets or spaces of each clothes article. There are described in detail the conformation of these component parts and the remaining operative component parts of the machine, as well as all the operations which are carried out for setting and controlling the different operative cycles of the machine.

A beverage machine includes a housing, and a feeding assembly disposed inside the housing. An outer wall surface of a first sidewall of the housing is provided with a mounting portion; and the beverage machine further includes a weighing module mounted on the mounting portion. The weighing module includes a case having a mounting space, a weighing sensor disposed within the mounting space, and a support member that cooperates with the weighing sensor and is configured to support a powder ingredient supplied by the feeding assembly, and the weighing sensor is configured to detect a weight of the powder ingredient, so that powder residue inside the housing can be prevented from depositing on the weighing sensor, which not only improves measurement accuracy of the weighing module, but also facilitates assembly between the weighing module and the housing, allows for easy removal of the weighing module for maintenance and repair.
