Abstract
A device includes the weighing device for weighing articles, the packaging device , and a control device . The packaging device produces bags from a film, and packages in the bags the articles which have been weighed by the weighing device . The control device determines the size of a bag to be produced in the packaging device based on the weight data of the articles sent from the weighing device . The weighing and packaging device reduces a burden for an operator and/or time required to perform normal weighing and packaging processes, as well as other special processes such as a zero point calibrating process and an all-drain process. The device can produce bags having a size that is adjusted to the amount of articles being packaged during special processes, when the amount of articles to be packaged tend to vary.
