Abstract
A weighing apparatus includes a rough-charge weigher and a combination weigher. A plurality of weighing hoppers of the combination weigher are, when seen in a plan view, arranged in a manner to form a line that constitutes a part of a virtual circle. The plurality of weighing hoppers include a one-end weighing hopper disposed at one end of the line, an other-end weighing hopper disposed at the other end of the line, and a plurality of middle weighing hoppers arranged on the line between the one-end weighing hopper and the other-end weighing hopper. The rough-charge weigher is, when seen from the one-end weighing hopper and the other-end weighing hopper, disposed at an opposite side to the middle weighing hoppers, and at least a part of the rough-charge weigher is disposed inside the virtual circle or on the virtual circle.
