coNFIDENTIAI,
The plant has perfected new mechanisms f'or agricultural purposes. It has
set up series production of automatic scales for weighing sugar beets. Other
~ enterprises such as vegetable, starch, and alcoholic-spirit ente
receiving a large number of these scales for wei,hin rprises nre
C g potatoes.
Leningradskaya Pravda, 26 Nov "j
The Kiev Scales Plant imeni llz~rzhi.nskiy has turned out nn experimental lot
of automatic scales to be used for weighing tin, lend, copper powders, soot,
graphite, pulverized coke, and resin. Tire new aggregates are equipped with a
special vibrating feeder, which essures an even and continuous feeding of mate-
rials from a hopper onto the scale. An electropneumatic control system makes it
possible to weigh out a definite quantity of specified portions. On completion
of this operation, the aggregate stops automatically.
The plant has also manufactured scales for weighing and packing toxic chemi-
cals for use in agriculture. Production of new automatic scales for the fish
industry has been started.
Devices are being produced for mechanically filling and packing sacks with
flour. The productivity oP such an apparatus is up to 1,000 sacks a shift.
Ti;ese mechanisms have shown efficient operating qualities at the Dnepropetrovsk
Milling Combine.
FULFILL PLAN FOR PRODUCTION OF SCALES __ Moscow, Vechernyaya Moskva, 30 Nov 53
