DEFINITIONSU.K.
Automatic weighing instrument | An instrument that determines the mass of a product without the intervention of an operator and follows a predetermined programme of automatic processes characteristic of the instrument. |
Automatic catchweigher | An automatic weighing instrument that determines the mass of pre-assembled discrete loads (for example prepackages) or single loads of loose material. |
Automatic checkweigher | An automatic catchweigher that subdivides articles of different mass into two or more subgroups according to the value of the difference of their mass and a nominal set-point. |
Weight labeller | An automatic catchweigher that labels individual articles with the weight value. |
Weight/price labeller | An automatic catchweigher that labels individual articles with the weight value, and price information. |
Automatic gravimetric filling instrument | An automatic weighing instrument that fills containers with a predetermined and virtually constant mass of product from bulk. |
Discontinuous totaliser (totalising hopper weigher) | An automatic weighing instrument that determines the mass of a bulk product by dividing it into discrete loads. The mass of each discrete load is determined in sequence and summed. Each discrete load is then delivered to bulk. |

Rail-weighbridge | An automatic weighing instrument having a load receptor inclusive of rails for conveying railway vehicles. |
