Patent ID: 8146624

Claim:
A system ( 1 ) for controlling the loading of at least one food ( 2 ) into one or more self-propelled units ( 3 ) by means of a mechanical shovel ( 4 ), which is mounted to a motor vehicle ( 6 ) and is adapted to collect and load said food ( 2 ) into a self-propelled unit ( 3 ); said system ( 1 ) being characterized in that it includes: a testing apparatus ( 7 ), which is mounted to said mechanical shovel ( 4 ) to determine a series of chemical-physical information related to the chemical components contained in the food ( 2 ) present in the shovel ( 4 ) during each loading; weighing means ( 11 ), which is installed in a self-propelled unit ( 3 ) to measure the weight (P E ) of the food ( 2 ) contained in said self-propelled unit ( 3 ); wireless communication means ( 10 )( 19 ) through which said testing apparatus ( 7 ) communicates said chemical-physical information related to the components contained in said food ( 2 ) to said weighing apparatus ( 11 ); and wherein said weighing means ( 11 ) includes a processing means ( 20 ), which is adapted to determine, at each loading and according to said chemical-physical information detected by said testing apparatus ( 7 ), the weight (D P ) of a remaining amount of food ( 2 ) to be loaded into said self-propelled unit ( 3 ), so that each chemical-physical component of the food ( 2 ) in the self-propelled unit ( 3 ) at the end of the loading fulfils a predetermined condition.
