data storage table by ingredient and by each conveyor that can be used to convey that ingredient thus as each ingredient may use different conveyors that may be used in different formula types as that ingredient is used in a formula id and as that ingredient is used in a final batch size the exact u201c free fall u201d weights are stored in memory for every combination of these variations thus the ideal free fall weight and motor speed combinations for each different situation is stored in memory and recalled for use versus the previous industry practice of just one for each ingredient from the free fall weight improvement portion of the improvement the reason this improvement is significant is that different formulas will have different size piles upon the scale when the ingredient is added see fig1 a 1 versus a 2 thus even though a free fall weight might have been precisely determined and stored the last time the ingredient was used because this time the pile height is different u2014 the total accumulated weight will be different from the ideal target weight by the difference in the weight of the ingredient contained in the height the ingredient has to fall see fig1 a 3 from the conveyor setting portion of this inventions improvement both the initial high speed setting and the final low speed setting can be altered and stored by ingredient.
