Abstract

The invention proposes a system for gravimetrically combining individual bulk material components in one or a plurality of transport container(s). The system comprises a plurality of storage containers for storing the bulk material components equipped with one dosing unit each in order to transfer a respective bulk material component into the transport container. Each of the storage containers is associated with a weighing means disposed below each storage container. The transport containers can be moved between the dosing units of the supply containers along a guidance and cooperate with the weighing means. In accordance with the invention, the guidance has several guiding segments that are disposed behind one another in the guiding direction and on which the transport container is guided, and at least the guiding segments disposed below the dosing units of the supply containers are formed by weighing/guiding segments which are mechanically decoupled from the other guiding segments or weighing/guiding segments such that the transport container is in its respective dosing position on the weighing/guiding segments for detecting its weight.
