ABSTRACT:
A conveyor system has a pair of main conveyor belts having confronting inner stretches oriented horizontally and vertically adjacent one another parallel to a transport direction and extending through a weighing station. The belts are spaced to grip vertical sides of a succession of objects and moved to advance the objects between them in the direction through the weighing station. A weighing conveyor belt has a horizontally oriented and upwardly directed stretch between and underneath the main belts at the station. The main-belt stretches are deflected apart generally only at the station for releasing objects gripped by the main belts and setting them to rest with their full weights on the weighing belt in the weighing station. The weighing belt moves to advance the objects through the weighing station. This way the objects on the weighing belt can be individually weighed.
