A weighing machine that accepts product from a source, segregates it into discrete quantities, and combines a number of the discrete quantities into a group that closely approximates a target weight. The machine includes a feeder means that transports product from the source; a plurality of accumulating means which receive product from the feeder means and discharge discrete quantities of product therefrom in a plurality of selected directions; a plurality of weighing means having multiple compartment which receive product from the accumulating means into the multiple compartments and determine the weight of product in each individual compartment; and collecting means to receive product from the multiple compartment weighing means, consolidate it and direct it to another location. By using multiple compartment weighing receptacles, each containing a determined weight of product, the required number of weighing means is advantageously reduced and storage hoppers are not needed.
