ABSTRACT:
A device for transporting fruit or produce on an endless chain to a produce container. The produce container is continually weighed, and as it fills with produce and reaches a warning weight, a motor which drives an endless chain slows to a lower speed. When the weight of the produce container and produce exceeds a target weight after the addition of one piece of produce or fruit, a weight comparison means signals the motor to stop. The produce container is released and removed from the device, and new empty one is placed in the device. This allows the produce container to be filled above a target weight by the addition of no more than one piece of fruit or produce.
