CA 2347538

A batcher apparatus comprising a weighing station (4) for arriving items and a sorting-out station (6) with transfer means for selectively transferring the weighed items to a plurality of receiver stations (18, 18', 18''), controlled by a control unit (14) with the purpose of building up weight determined item batches in the respective receiver stations (18, 18', 18''). According to the invention two or more receiver stations may be used as substations (18', 18'') being allocated items weightwise belonging to the same batch (26), whereby it is possible to allocate to each batch item, which are selected not only based on their weight, but additionally based on other criteria such as type of item in connection with co-batching of different types of poultry parts to be batched separately in subbatches which are then merged into the full batch. Also, items may be allocated to one substation or another in order to thereafter be acted upon in a specific manner, e.g. for some items to be turned or marked.

L'invention concerne un appareil servant à former des lots, qui comporte un poste de pesage (4) d'articles entrants et un poste de tri (6) et est équipé d'un dispositif de transfert pour transférer de manière sélective les articles pesés vers plusieurs stations de réception (18, 18', 18''). L'appareil est commandé par une unité de commande (14) pour constituer des lots d'articles de poids déterminé aux postes de réception respectifs (18, 18', 18''). Selon l'invention, deux ou davantage de stations de réception peuvent être utilisées comme sous-stations (18', 18''): on affecte à celles-ci des articles appartenant au même lot (26) en fonction de leur poids, ce qui permet d'affecter à chaque lot des articles sélectionnés non seulement en fonction de leur poids mais également selon d'autres critères tels que le type d'article, cette opération étant liée à une mise en lot conjointe de différents types de parties de volaille à mettre en lots séparément pour former des sous-lots, lesquels sont ensuite associés au lot complet. De plus, des articles peuvent être affectés à l'une ou l'autre des sous-stations en vue d'un traitement ultérieur spécifique, p. ex. pour des opérations de retournement ou de marquage d'articles.
