Abstract:
A weighing apparatus according to the present invention comprises: a dispersion table configured to rotate an article supplied from an outside around a central axis defined in a substantially vertical direction and to convey the article in a direction away from the central axis; an acquisition unit configured to acquire a mass value of the article placed on the dispersion table; and a control unit configured to control a rotation speed of the dispersion table on the basis of the mass value. The control unit is configured to set the rotation speed of the dispersion table to a first rotation speed when the mass value is equal to or less than a first mass value, and to set the rotation speed of the dispersion table to a second rotation speed slower than the first rotation speed when the mass value is a second mass value heavier than the first mass value.
Abstract:
A combination weighing apparatus comprises a distributing table having a conical vibrating surface, a cap disposed above an apex portion of the distributing table, a plurality of supply troughs arranged radially around the distributing table with a downward gap S interposed therebetween, and a rotary stirrer for stirring articles supplied from the distributing table to the plurality of supply troughs. The rotary stirrer includes a stirring arm extending from the apex portion of the distributing table along the vibrating surface and a leading end stirring plate disposed on the leading end side of the stirring arm. The leading end stirring plate is arranged in the gap.
