Weighing and grading samples in order to grade large batches of fruit

摘要: Method and apparatus for grading large batches of fruit by sampling technique. A sample, drawn from a batch, is divided into two approximately equal portions, one portion being inspected without weighed. The other weighed then inspected. Grade-defect material placed separately classified buckets one. percentages are determined acceptance thereby determined. weigh hopper suspended load cell pair wires, at each side the hopper. turnbuckle on wire enables adjustment, excessive motion dampened. shock transmission member which rests shock-absorbing spring that compressed when loads exerted. cable attached to center upper edge end passes around bottom cam device, provide smooth inversion dwell period full inversion.
