Abstract

A grader system for weighing and distributing food parts to achieve a desired batch weigh includes a conveyor system with a plurality of cups moving along a pathway that encounter a weigh station. The cups are mounted on a tilt frame that is connected to the conveyor system by a support frame assembly and an arm assembly. The support frame assembly is constructed with an open design forming cavities that can be cleaned when the grader system is in use. The arm assembly is at the exterior of the frame assembly and is constructed having a T-shaped cross section permitting cleaning. The tilt frame assembly includes feet that move along rails connected to a load cell at the weighing station.
