ABSTRACT:
A combination bacon slicing, segregating and weighing machine is provided. The slicing machine has a slicing blade and controls for determining the rate of feed of the bacon belly towards the slicing blade and, consequently, the slice thickness. Receiving and conveying structure is associated with the weighing machine and receives the sliced product coming from the slicing machine. Control apparatus is designed for interruption of the operation of the feeding mechanism by appropriate controls when the slices are at a weight less than the prescribed draft weight. The apparatus then provides for weighing and registering the weight of the accumulated light weight group of sliced product and for counting the number of slices in the lighter group. The apparatus calculates by subtracting the weight of the group from a heavier draft target weight and multiplying the weight difference by the ratio of the slices in the lighter group to the weight of the lighter group to determine the number of slices to be added to produce the target weight without changing the slice thickness. The number of slices required for the target weight rounded out to the nearest whole integer is then calculated. Thereafter, the error produced by rounding off to the nearest whole integer is corrected by multiplying the first feed rate by the ratio of the number of slices calculated to produce the target weight by the number of slices rounded off to the nearest integer to provide a new feed rate which will produce a number of whole slices at the right thickness in making up the added weight to produce the draft target weight.
