Device for weighing a wide variety of ingredients and system configuration of device for weighing a wide variety of ingredients

A device for weighing a wide variety of ingredients, wherein the device is configured for individually storing at least one kind or several kinds of powdery and granular starting materials in a first starting material hopper and a second starting material hopper, for gradually sending out the respective starting materials to a downstream side of the first starting material hopper and the second starting material hopper which are set up on an upstream side, for weighing, for discharging the respective starting materials in a predetermined amount to first chutes on the downstream side of the first starting material hopper and to second chutes on the downstream side of the second material hopper, and for supplying the respective starting materials to a cup-filling unit, and one first series of first starting material paths defined from downstream the first starting material hopper to the first chutes and one second series of second starting material paths defined from downstream to the second starting material hopper to the second chutes, the first and second starting material paths are formed vertically parallel in the shape of a staircase from the upstream side to the downstream side, and wherein the first and second starting material paths, respectively, comprising:

• a plurality of first outlets and a plurality of second outlets, respectively, which are provided below the first starting material hopper and the said second starting material hopper, respectively,
• a plurality of first pipe feeders and a plurality of second pipe feeders, respectively, in the shape of a rotary cylinder slanted downward to the downstream side, connected correspondingly to the plurality of the first outlets and the plurality of the second outlets, respectively, and configured so that the starting material is provided continuously so as to flow to the downstream side,
• a plurality of first measuring hoppers with a respective lid and a plurality of second measuring hoppers with a respective lid, respectively, wherein the first pipe feeders and the second pipe feeders, respectively, are provided at each end of the downstream side,
• a plurality of first measuring sensors and a plurality of second measuring sensors, respectively, each configured to support one of the plurality of the first measuring hoppers and the plurality of the second measuring hoppers, respectively, from below, and to weigh a weight of the first measuring hoppers and the second measuring hoppers with a weight of the starting material, and
• the first chutes and the second chutes, respectively, provided respectively on the downstream side of the first measuring hoppers and the second measuring hoppers, respectively, whereby material discharged from the first chutes is deposited to separate cups from material discharged from the second chutes.
