Abstract
The method of delivering quantities of product measured by weight with each quantity being of an acceptable weight relative to a reference weight, utilizing a set of weighing devices each adapted to weigh a fraction of said quantity and each adapted for unloading of product therefrom to contribute to a delivery. The method comprises the steps of making a combination search to select a combination of the weighing devices to be unloaded to deliver said acceptable weight quantity, the search being made by generating the values of combinations of weights on the weighing devices excluding those devices which were selected in the preceding search and comparing the values with an acceptable weight standard, unloading the weighing devices of the selected combination for said delivery, and loading the weighing devices where were unloaded, wherein the combination search step of generating and comparing the values of the combinations of weights on the weighing devices which were selected in the preceding search is initiated before completion of weighing out new loads on those devices. Apparatus for carrying out this method is also disclosed.
