Weighing machine for products in a packaging assembly
First Claim
1. A weighing machine for products in a packaging assembly comprising:
- a vibrating convex disc;
a plurality of vibrating trays, a plurality of feeding hoppers, a plurality of weighing hoppers, and a plurality of chutes arranged in a circular pattern;
each of the plurality of feeding hoppers comprising a cantilevered flap configured to rotate around a horizontal pivot axis, a counterweight member extending opposite the cantilevered flap, the counterweight member including a plate member configured to slide along at least one groove in relation to the horizontal pivot axis to adjust an effective weight of the counterweight member;

8. A weighing machine for products in a packaging assembly comprising:
-
a base; a centralized cone supported in a frame; a vibrating convex disc; a plurality of vibrating trays, a plurality of feeding hoppers, a plurality of weighing hoppers, and a plurality of chutes arranged in a circular pattern;
each of the plurality of feeding hoppers comprising a cantilevered flap configured to rotate around a horizontal pivot axis, a counterweight member extending opposite the cantilevered flap, the counterweight member including a plate member configured to slide along at least one groove in relation to the horizontal pivot axis to adjust an effective weight of the counterweight member, wherein the products are configured to stay on the cantilevered flap during operation until a predetermined weight is reached which exceeds the effective weight of the counterweight membera pair of alternating horizontal sliding conveyors; and a pair of transport conveyors positioned under the pair of alternating horizontal sliding conveyors, wherein each of the pair of alternating horizontal sliding conveyors are configured to alternate positions such that only one of the pair of transport conveyors is exposed underneath the pair of alternating horizontal sliding conveyors, wherein the pair of alternating horizontal sliding conveyors and the pair of transport conveyors are comprised of a rubberized material reducing impact fall damage to the products.
