<p>A combination scale in which spreading time of objects to be measured located on a collective chute is reduced independent of properties etc. of the objects to enable high-speed operation of the scale. The combination scale has upper stage collective chutes (6a, 6b) arranged below a measurement hopper (4), upper stage collective hoppers (7a, 7b) arranged below discharge openings, respectively, of the upper stage collective chutes (6a, 6b), a lower stage collective chute (8) provided below the upper stage collective hoppers (7a, 7b), a lower stage collective hopper (9) provided at a discharge opening of the lower stage collective chute (8), and a control section (20) for repeatedly performing combination processing for deciding one discharge combination of the measurement hopper (4), discharge processing for discharging the objects on to the upper stage collective chutes (6a, 6b) from the measurement hopper (4) having the decided discharge combination, discharge processing for causing the objects to be simultaneously discharged to all the upper stage collective hoppers (7a, 7b), and discharge processing for causing the objects to be discharged from the lower stage collective hopper (9).</p> |
