Abstract
Apparatus and method for dispensing admixtures based upon weight. One or more admixture storage containers are supported in one embodiment by a suspended platform, and in another embodiment by brackets. A weight sensing system such as a single load cell is used for weighing the contents of the admixture storage containers. The platform or brackets are arranged so that the load cell is responsive to less than 100% of the weight in the containers. The containers are filled to a predetermined weight, and the contents are dispensed from each container in series or simultaneously.
