REPOSITIONABLE FOOD SCALE WEIGHT SENSING SYSTEM, FRY RIBBON BRIDGE ASSEMBLY AND METHOD

摘要

A transportable and repositionable portion control system 10 has an integral portion weight sensing system 90 configured for use with an optional fry ribbon bridge assembly 190 in a portion control method. The portion 14 is held in a portion indexing area, or corral 20 on an upper surface 22 of the scale 10. A portion indexing area 20 is defined between spaced, upstanding container supports 24 and 26 which diverge from one another in a "V" shape and the spacing between the rails is selected to allow a selected variety of known containers such as carton 14 to be placed on surface 22 between the rails to ensure that the carton is property located for the weight measurement that is to be carried out by the scale 10.
