Abstract

A weighing apparatus for weighing batches of food product is provided. The weighing apparatus comprises a product supply unit arranged to supply food product to be weighed, a weighing unit arranged toreceive and weigh a batch of food product, and a product delivery unit arranged to receive the food product from the product supply unit and to deliver a batch of food product to the weighing unit. The product delivery unit comprises a trough extending between a product supply position, at which food product is received from the product supply unit, and a product delivery position, at which the food product is delivered for receipt in the weighing unit, and a transport screw arranged in the trough and configured to rotate in the trough for conveying food product from the product supply position to the product delivery position. The transport screw comprises at least two helical members. A primary helical member extends along a length of the trough substantially from the product supply position to the product delivery position. A secondary helical member extends along a length of the trough substantially from the product supply position to a termination position of the secondary helical member, the termination position of the secondary helical member being between the product supply position and the product delivery position.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to an apparatus and method for weighing batches of food products. In particular, the present invention relates to apparatus and methods for weighing batches of intractable food products comprising a large number of discrete pieces. Such food products include viscous food products such as raw meat, poultry and fish, especially when they are coated with sauces or marinades. Background technique [0002] Weighing devices are widely used in the art which receive food products in batches and then deliver batches of the food products to weighing machines in a controlled manner. A particular device for delivering and weighing batches of food products includes a delivery screw having a helical member that rotates about its central axis to move along the The slot at the second end drives the food product. An example of such a system can be found in EP2175250A1. [0003] Movement of the food product along the trough by the helic...
