Abstract

See full text

An apparatus for the weighing and labelling of products with non-flat bottoms in a high speed processing environment has a first entry section, a second weighing section and a third labelling section. The first and third sections incorporate a horizontal conveyor belt and a pair of vertical control belts. The second weighing section incorporates a unique horizontal belt arrangement which is adapted to change its shape and to deform in response to the weight and shape of the product. Products are fed in the first section, weighed in the second section and labelled in the third section and in practicing the method of the invention utilizing the described apparatus, product wobble and oscillation, particularly in the second weighing section, is minimized and more accurate weighing and labelling is achieved.
