Abstract
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.
