ABSTRACT:
Portions of a product are obtained from a supply of the product and are weighed and distributed by an apparatus having a plurality of picking units, a computer and a distribution device. Each picking unit provides for gripping and removing a portion of a product from a supply of the product, for weighing and recording the weight of the removed, gripped portion, and for feeding the recorded weight of the removed, gripped portion to the computer. The computer, which is preprogrammed for a predetermined total weight and to combine a plurality of recorded weights to give a total weight substantially equal to the preprogrammed weight and to actuate release of a combination of portions from the picking units, computes the recorded weights to combine the recorded weights to give a total weight of a combination of a plurality of the portions substantially equal to the preprogrammed weight and then actuates release of the combination of portions which give the total weight for distribution.
