A system for feeding portions of material to an injection molding machine including a feeding device that can be a screw feeder, an external container, a material hopper with inclined and parallel walls located inside the container, a load cell that is coupled to the material hopper and a controller. The system dispenses accurate weight portions of material in a given time and for a given duration. The system controls the portion weight by weighing a number of dispensed portions using loss-in-weight of the hopper, divides the weight to the number of portion and, when needed, controls the spin of the screw feeder motor.
