ABSTRACT:
A continuous flow weighing apparatus including a support frame, a weighing drum rotatably mounted to an axle and having a plurality of weighing compartments each having an eccentric center of gravity. A balance beam is rotatably mounted on each side of the weighing drum to the support frame. One end of the balance beam is fixedly mounted to the drum axle while the other end is adapted to receive a counterweight. A releasable stop means is provided comprising a drum stop mounted to the exterior side of each weighing compartment. A fixed latch bar and a pivotal latch bar are attached to the support frame and are so configured as to form a notch for receiving the drum stops. The drum stops and the sides of the fixed and pivotal latch bars have inclined mating surfaces which form an angle from the horizontal to give a horizontal resultant force. A horizontal resultant force reduces weighing errors by stabilizing the center of gravity.
