ABSTRACT:
A load of solid food products such as fried potato chips and french fries are supplied to a receptacle opening into a dispensing chamber in which a releasable weighing platform is disposed. In order to facilitate flow of food products within the load and above a bottom wall of the receptacle, an agitator member having elongate parallel spaced-apart side elements joined by an end element adjacent a rear wall of the receptacle remote from the chamber opening is constrained to move upwards and downwards and towards and away from the chamber opening to exert a supporting and lifting action on the load of food products above said agitator member. When a predetermined weight of food products is reached, the weighing platform hinges downwardly to dispense a weighed portion of food products.
