  • the present invention relates to a method and apparatus for cyclically portioning products based on predetermined target weights, i.e., for cyclically producing, during each cycle, a portion of a product best matching a predetermined target weight within predetermined constraints.
  • the invention is particularly useful for portioning products having a minimum excess weight over a predetermined target weight, and is therefore described below with respect to such applications.
  • Container packaging or filling machines must operate at a high rate of speed, and must also include, in each package or container, at least the minimum weight specified on the package, hereinafter referred to as the predetermined target weight. It is virtually impossible, from a practical standpoint, to produce exactly the specified weight in high speed packaging or filling machines, and therefore the machines now in use generally produce an excess weight over the target weight. Since such excess weight is a
  • One type is a linear-feeder machine in which the product is fed via a single feed path to a single weighing device and, when the target weight is reached, the feeder is cut-off.
  • This type of machine may include a bulk feeder which feeds the product at a relatively high rate to a weight slightly less than the target weight, and a dribble feeder which then feeds the product at a slow rate until the target weight is reached.
  • An example of this type of apparatus is illustrated in US Patent 4,100,984. However, such machines operate relatively slowly because of the relatively large intervals that may be required to operate the dribble feeder in view of the slow rate fed by that feeder.
  • Another drawback in the existing linear-feed machines is the time and effort required for change-over from one product or weight to another product or weight because of the need to preset a number of parameters which include, in addition to the target weight: the cut-off point for the bulk feed; the cut-off point for the dribble feed; the weight of the "falling" product while in the air; the amplitude of the vibrations for bulk feeding; and the amplitude of vibrations for dribble-feeding.
  • the second type of weighing or filling machine which is of higher accuracy and higher operating speed, is the parallel-feeder or combination-type machine, wherein the product is simultaneously fed via a plurality of parallel feed paths to a plurality of weighing devices, each weighing a partial portion of the end product weight.

  • Such combination-type machines are substantially more complicated, and therefore substantially more expensive, than the linear-feeder machines.

  • the start of the product flow path is a linear or single-feed flowpath, i.e., from the initial dosing device to the intermediate receptacles, and therefore requires but a single weighing device.
