Gain-in-weight batching employs the use of highly accurate volumetric feeders that are integrated with the scale on which the empty box or container sits. A batch cycle is generally made up of two phases; during the first phase, 90% of the batch weight (as determined by the preprogrammed recipe) is fed as fast as possible. During the second phase the last 10% is fed in a slower “dribble” mode to ensure an accurate result in achieving the weight setpoint. When the setpoint is achieved, the feed is stopped. In most cases, the controller switches a single feeder between the two modes to achieve a batch.
