<p>A combinatorial weighing apparatus has a plurality of pool hoppers (3) associates with automatic weighing units (18), respectively, for performing a weighing function to weigh batches of articles which have been supplied from a supply unit into the pool hoppers (3). After the batches of articles have reached substantially preset weights, they are fed into weighing hoppers (4). Weight values obtained by the weighing hoppers (4) are computed in various combinations by a computer to find a combination of weights which is equal or as close as possible to a preset weight for thereby detecting the total weight of selected batches of articles.</p> |
