Abstract
An automatic weight sorter used with a rotary container filling machine for sorting filled containers by weight. The filling machine has a rotary platform with a plurality of filling stations in which the containers, such as bottles, are supported for filling liquid product dispensed through a filling head at each filling station. The sorter is disposed at the exit end of the filling machine for successively weighing the filled bottles to sort them into predetermined classes of weight. The sorter is provided with an electronic device for storing measured weights for each filling station, calculating average weight for each station, counting the number of the sorted bottles in each class for each filling station, selectively displaying these data on a display screen and generating an alarm when the number of defective product exceeds a predetermined value.
