  "text": "Automatic weighing instrument\nAn instrument that determines the mass of a product without the intervention of an operator and follows a predetermined programme of automatic processes characteristic of the instrument.\nAutomatic catchweigher\nAn automatic weighing instrument that determines the mass of pre-assembled discrete loads (for example prepackages) or single loads of loose material.\nAutomatic checkweigher\nAn automatic catchweigher that subdivides articles of different mass into two or more subgroups according to the value of the difference of their mass and a nominal set-point.\nWeight labeller\nAn automatic catchweigher that labels individual articles with the weight value.\nWeight/price labeller\nAn automatic catchweigher that labels individual articles with the weight value, and price information.\nAutomatic gravimetric filling instrument\nAn automatic weighing instrument that fills containers with a predetermined and virtually constant mass of product from bulk.\nDiscontinuous totaliser (totalising hopper weigher)\nAn automatic weighing instrument that determines the mass of a bulk product by dividing it into discrete loads. The mass of each discrete load is determined in sequence and summed. Each discrete load is then delivered to bulk.\nContinuous totaliser\nAn automatic weighing instrument that continuously determines the mass of a bulk product on a conveyor belt, without systematic subdivision of the product and without interrupting the movement of the conveyor belt.\nRail-weighbridge\nAn automatic weighing instrument having a load receptor inclusive of rails for conveying railway vehicles.",
