Abstract:
A combination weighing apparatus (1) according to one embodiment includes: a plurality of hoppers (4) to (6) that receives articles inputted from an outside, temporarily stores the articles, and discharges the stored articles downstream; a discharge chute (9) that receives the articles discharged from the hoppers and causes the articles to slide downstream; an acquisition unit (50) that acquires weight values of the articles stored in each hopper; and a control unit (30) that performs combination calculation on the basis of the weight values acquired by the acquisition unit and discharges the articles from a hopper determined by the combination calculation to the discharge chute. The discharge chute includes: a first slide surface (91) having a plurality of openings (91A); and a second slide surface (92) that covers a part of the opening and is disposed at a position on an inner side of the discharge chute with respect to the first slide surface. The second slide surface is formed continuously with the first slide surface on an upstream side, a left side, and a right side of the opening.
