A new device and method for measuring large production flows of e.g., one to fifty tons per hour with products such as mill products having unfavorable flow behavior. The production flow is directed intermittently into an upright weighing container for a brief time and is compulsorily discharged from the latter substantially horizontally so as to be controlled with respect to speed. The production flow is periodically monitored volumetrically and gravimetrically by means of differential weighing. The use of the method suggests that the production flow in a mill be measured by means of differential weighing for the purpose of controlling, e.g., monitoring the work process prior to wetting, e.g. as mill input capacity, e.g. for monitoring in the milling process, e.g. for the flour weigher.

A device for determining a product flow of products having unfavorable flow properties comprising: an upright weighing container; a closeable preliminary bin for the weighing container; a discharge metering screw with controllable rotational speed being fixedly connected with a lower portion of the weighing container, said discharge metering screw having an essentially horizontally arranged discharge; a transition piece from the weighing container and discharge metering screw; and differential weighing elements arranged relative to said weighing container, wherein the container has a tubular exit and said transition piece has a round cross section at its inlet side for coupling to said tubular exit and a rectangular cross section at its outlet side for coupling to the horizontal metering discharge screw, the rectangular cross section and round cross section having areas of similar size.
