Container distributing and charging apparatus

摘要

A container distributing and charging apparatus has a plurality of weighing machines for computing weights of articles supplied to the weighing machines, selecting a combination of articles the total weight of which is equal to or closest to a target weight, and discharging the selected articles. One of containers which contain articles to be weighed and are ready for being supplied onto the weighing machines serves as a dummy container for taking up a dimensional difference between the containers and the weighing machines.
