A weighing machine that uses a plurality of pivoting conveyors to deliver product to a plurality of weigh hoppers the sum of which make the desired total weight required for a package. Each pivoting conveyor may supply product to a plurality of secondary conveyors by rotating or changing the pivoting conveyor belt speed. The machine uses a calculated number of front or rear weigh hoppers positioned beneath corresponding accumulation hoppers to produce the desired total weight. The accumulation hopper rapidly fills the weigh hopper after the weigh hopper is emptied. The front and rear accumulation hoppers are positioned below a diverter plate that directs product from the secondary conveyor. Access to the front and rear accumulation and weigh hoppers is made possible by hinging the front set of hoppers.
