PURPOSE:To improve the efficiency of a line and stabilize feeding by providing more than one stage of electrically controlled shutters on chutes and making the feeding quantity from the bottom stage shutter even, in time, in a captioned device for bagging mixed candies, etc. CONSTITUTION:A rotary solenoid 27 is installed in each of more than one chute 16 through a bracket, from the top to the bottom stage at equal intervals, forming a shutter which is not shown in the figure, while a photoelectric switch 34 for detecting articles is also installed. In this construction, when a certain quantity of objects to be measured are in contact with each of shutters, being stored in the chutes 16 from the top to the bottom stages, the photoelectric switch 34 inputs a signal in a control unit 37, causing the rotary solenoid 27 to carry out closing and opening operation of the shutter from the bottom stage, in order, shifting to the upper stage, at a certain timing. And, the upper stage shutters are controlled so that a certain number of objects are always stored in the bottom stage shutter. Thereby, feeding can be stabilized. |
