Abstract
The number of articles in a weighing pan of a multihead weigher is to be determined. A set of weight distributions including a first weight distribution and a second weight distribution are defined. The first weight distribution representing a weight distribution of a first integer number of articles, and the second weight distribution representing a weight distribution of a second integer number of articles. The weight of the articles in the weighing pan is compared to the first weight distribution, and the second weight distribution respectively—the number of articles corresponding to the first integer number when the weight being inside said first weight distribution, and to the second integer number when the weight being inside said second weight distribution.
