The total weight of fibrous material delivered to a packaging device is controlled to provide more uniform package weight in accordance with a method and through the use of an apparatus in which material is successively accumulated into batches, each being a fractional portion of a desired package weight. Batches are accumulated and released as the actual weight of each delivered batch is determined and registered and the registered actual weights of the successive batches are totaled. The weight of at least certain batches in the succession is then adjusted to control the total weight. A weigh container 12 having an inlet 14 and an outlet 15 is interposed between and operatively communicates with a source of supply of fibrous material, such as a tow cutter, and a packaging device, such as a baling press 11. A load cell 18 is provided which signals the weight of material supported by the weigh container. <IMAGE> |
