Abstract:
1. A system for gravimetrically combining individual bulk material components in at least one transport container, the system comprising: a plurality of storage containers for storing the bulk material components; a plurality of dosing units, each storage container cooperating with one dosing unit; at least one transport container for accepting a respective bulk product component transferred by a dosing unit; a plurality of weighing means, wherein each storage container is associated with one weighing means disposed below a respective storage container, said transport container being structured to cooperate with each of said weighing means; a guidance along which said transport container can be moved between dosing units of said supply containers, said guidance having several guiding segments that are disposed behind one another in a guiding direction and on which said transport container is guided, wherein at least guiding segments disposed below said dosing units of said supply containers are formed by weighing/guiding segments, which are mechanically decoupled from other guiding segments and/or weighing/guiding segments, such that said transport container is in a respective dosing position on said weighing/guiding segments for detecting a transport container weight; and at least one carriage, said carriage structured for displacing said transport container along said guidance, said carriage being driven in a controlled fashion, wherein said carriage is guided on a rail which extends parallel to said guidance, wherein said carriage can be coupled to and decoupled from said transport container by means of carriers.
