ABSTRACT:
The total weight of fibrous material delivered to a packaging device, such as staple textile fiber delivered to a baling press, is controlled so as to facilitate achieving more uniform package weight in accordance with a method and through the use of an apparatus in which material is successively accumulated into batches, each of which is a fractional portion of a desired package weight. Batches are accumulated and released as the actual weight of each delivered batch is determined and registered and the registered actual weights of the successive batches are totaled. The weight of at least certain batches in the succession is then adjusted in such a manner as to closely control the total weight. A weigh container having an inlet and an outlet is interposed between and operatively communicates with a source of supply of fibrous material, such as a tow cutter, and a packaging device, such as a baling press. A load cell is provided which signals the weight of material supported by the weigh container.
