PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To improve cleanability of a metering conveyor, without having to decrease in metering accuracy. SOLUTION: In the metering conveyor 1 has a conveyor unit 3 for conveying a material to be metered, a load cell 5 for detecting the weight of the material, and a housing 7 for containing the load cell, the fixing end 5b of a straining element 5a of the load cell 5 is coupled to the housing 7, its free end 5c is coupled to a support frame supporting the unit 3, and a gear box 83 for constituting a part of the frame is made to project outward, from the lower surface of the housing 7 via an opening 71a. There is no opening 71 or a diaphragm 85 on the upper surface and the side face of the housing 7, and there is no member for supporting the unit 3 at the housing 7. Accordingly, the surface shape of the housing becomes a neat shape which does not have protrusions or ruggedness so as to suppress the problem of adhesion of residues of the material to be metered or the like, and its cleanability is improved. Since the weight of the housing 7 is not added to its tare, metering the accuracy is improved.
