A method of weigh batching for batch formulae using a number of ingredients conveyed to a weigh hopper by a number of different conveyers. Free fall weights and conveyor delivery speeds for each of the ingredients and each of the conveyors used to convey each ingredient are stored in a control system memory. The stored information is used to prepare batches of various formulated products optimizing both the weigh up time and the ingredient weight accuracy.

I claim: 1. A method of weigh batching for batch formulae prepared with a plurality of ingredients conveyed to a weigh hopper by a plurality of conveyors, the method comprising the steps of:storing a plurality of batch formulae in a control system memory, each of the plurality of formulae having a plurality of ingredients;storing free fall weights and conveyor delivery speeds for each of the plurality of ingredients and for each of the plurality of conveyors used to convey each ingredient as each ingredient is used in each of the plurality of batch formulae and a plurality of batch formulae batch sizes; andutilizing stored information for the batch formulae, free fall weights and conveyor delivery speeds to prepare batches of formulated products of a selected one of the plurality of batch formulae in a selected one of the plurality of batch formulae batch sizes.
