For the building up of weight determined batches of food-stuff items delivered from a processing machine such as a slicer or portion cutter, it is known to make use of special batching machines which, by selective weight-controlled merging of the items in a row of receiver stations, can build up batches of predetermined weight, even despite some weight spread in the flow of supplied items; however, the efficiency of the batching may be higher or lower according to the factual weight spread of the items. With the invention advantage is taken of a feedback function from the control unit of the batching machine to an adjustment unit of the processing machine, such that it becomes possible to influence the factual weight spread for optimizing the efficiency of the batching operation. |
