Abstract
A stacker-cutter-weigher apparatus for supplying a continuous supply of a product having a preselected weight which comprises extruding a continuous stock of polymeric material having a substantially stable cross-sectional area, cutting the stock into finite sections, and placing the sections on a scale. The measured weight is sensed by a central control which adjusts the length of the next section so as to adjust the weight thereof. A further adjustment occurs as each section is placed on the scale. This provides a final product having a substantially preselected weight.
