Abstract
A new device and method for measuring large production flows of e.g., one to fifty tons per hour with products such as mill products having unfavorable flow behavior. The production flow is directed intermittently into an upright weighing container for a brief time and is compulsorily discharged from the latter substantially horizontally so as to be controlled with respect to speed. The production flow is periodically monitored volumetrically and gravimetrically by means of differential weighing. The use of the method suggests that the production flow in a mill be measured by means of differential weighing for the purpose of controlling, e.g., monitoring the work process prior to wetting, e.g. as mill input capacity, e.g. for monitoring in the milling process, e.g. for the flour weigher.
