Abstract
The invention solves the problem of sufficiently accurately portioning by weight a sequential stream of objects with known individual weights, without having to return a considerable part of rejected excess objects to be processed again. This is achieved by accumulating excessive objects into one or more holding areas where they will be used as the basis for subsequent portions, instead of being rejected and reprocessed. This method makes it possible to use relatively simple and inexpensive equipment for sufficiently accurate portioning by weight in the fish and food processing industries, which requires highly complex and expensive equipment using existing technologies.
Claims4
A method of automatically and precisely portioning a sequential stream of objects with individually known weights, without having to reject excess objects in the sequence that have not been selected for the portion being accumulated, wherein the improvement comprises using the excess objects to form the basis of subsequent portions.
