ABSTRACT:
Articles of meat or fish are transported on three successively positioned conveyor belts wherein at least a part of the first conveyor belt forms a load-bearing platform of a weighing machine. A cutting device is positioned for cutting the transported articles into portions between the second and third successive conveyor belts. The cutting device is actuated by a computer which is preprogrammed with a predetermined cut portion weight. The weighing machine, a photocell positioned adjacent the first belt and weighing machine, a tachometer for determining a velocity of the second belt, and a means for feeding information to the computer operate and communicate with the computer to record and process, together with the predetermined weight, a total weight of an article transported on the first belt, a loss of weight on the first belt as an article is transported from the first belt to the second belt, and a velocity of the second belt to actuate the cutting device and cutting of the transported article to obtain a portion having the predetermined weight.
