Abstract
A measuring apparatus includes a measuring conveyor measuring a weight of an article during transportation, a feed conveyor, a discharge conveyor, and a central conveyor extending in a transporting direction through the measuring conveyor. In a first transfer area where the article is transferred from the feed conveyor to the measuring conveyor and in a second transfer area where the article is transferred from the measuring conveyor to the discharge conveyor, level portions of a transporting surface of the central conveyor are located at the same level as that of the measuring conveyor. In a measuring area where the measuring conveyor is located, the lower portion of the transporting surface of the central conveyor is shifted downward from that of the measuring conveyor. The measuring apparatus can stably transport the article, suppress vibrations during transfer to and from a measuring conveyor, and improve the measuring accuracy.
