Combination weighing device

Abstract

Avoiding the discharge of lightweight articles as much as possible while improving the yield. A combination weighing device (1) comprises: a transport unit (10, 11) configured to transport an article (100) supplied from an outside; a plurality of hoppers (13) configured to perform a measurement while temporarily holding the article (100) transported by the transport unit (10, 11) to acquire a mass value of the article (100); and a controller (5) configured to select a combination of the hoppers (13) to discharge the article (100) from the hopper (13) included in the selected combination based on a target mass value set in advance and the mass value acquired in each of the plurality of hoppers (13). The target mass value is a value obtained by adding a correction value to a mass value requested by a user, and the correction value is set to a different value depending on a number of the hoppers (13) used for the combination.
