ABSTRACT:
A method and an apparatus for sorting fruits, vegetables or the like by weight. An electronic weighing device is used in combination with a basket conveyer system arranged by mounting evenly spaced receiving or weighing baskets on a chain conveyer. The basket are loosely mounted on the mounting metal members of the chain conveyer. Each time a basket is conveyed over a weighing stand of the weighing device, the basket is detached from the mounting member and is pushed so as to slide over a measuring rail by a freely rotatable pushing member which has small frictional resistance and is arranged to be in pushing contact with a vertical face of the basket.
