Abstract
A dynamic check weighing system wherein the drive motor is positioned within the channel members of the frame and spaced from the ends thereof so as to provide a dynamically balanced system resulting in accurate and consistent weighing. The conveyor belt is of an open mesh type which affords positive engagement by a drive sprocket and positive tracking by a guide sprocket. A direct drive arrangement is employed thus eliminating drive components. There is provided a weighing system which employs fewer parts, thus, reducing maintenance and production costs.
