摘要： A control for a continuously moving weighing conveyor first triggers on a predetermined sensed weight (104). The control determines a first inflection point on the weight waveform defined as the 'maximum positive slope' (106). Then the control begins recording weight samples at a sampling rate. The control checks the weight waveform of sampled weights for a slope which is a first pre-selected percentage of the maximum slope but negative in slope value 'weight-off-scale' point (110). The control then looks backward through the recorded data of weight samples to find another point which has a slope which is a second preselected negative percentage of the maximum positive slope 'end sample position'(114). Then a 'start sample position' (118) is determined to fall within, or at the start of, a flat region of the waveform. The values within the sample period are then averaged to determine a static weight.

摘要： A patty forming apparatus (20) has a machine base (21) that includes a cooling air system that closes up the base upon loss of power. The apparatus includes a food product hopper (25) and conveyor (30) that are hingedly retractable. The hopper includes a controllable level sensing mechanism (53) arranged to be moved by food product level within the hopper. A hydraulic pump (61) is positioned to be at least partially submerged in hydraulic fluid, to be pumped by the pump, within a reservoir.
