Abstract (en)

[origin: WO8702326A1] Device for measuring and filling quantities of bulky products in piece-form provided with a weighing unit (11), a transport unit (12) and a packing unit (13). To ensure that the quantities of product (10) weighed have approximately the same volume, the transport unit is provided with a level sensor (32, 33), a compression component (46) and a top-up metering device (50). If the quantities of product (10) take up too much volume, they are compressed and the bulky parts break; if the volume occupied is too small, a small quantity of product is then added to the main quantity. The transport unit is also provided with a unit (52) enabling the addition of the supplementary material (53).
