摘要:
The invention relates to an automatic device for separating products according to their external defects. The device comprises: a mechanism for the selectively separating and releasing products, in which suitable products are released onto a first outfeed belt and unsuitable products are released onto a second outfeed belt; and a set of retaining elements or clamps for securing the products during their radial movement in the discharge head of the machine together and simultaneously with the conveyor elements that convey the products, the activation of which depends on whether the product is deemed suitable or unsuitable. The invention also relates to a method for releasing products according to their external defects, said method including conveying individual products on housings formed by pairs of runners (1) and separating the products that do not comply with pre-determined parameters by securing said products in their housing with clamps during a portion of the outfeed path, thereby preventing the products from falling by gravity onto the belt used to collect products that comply with the aforementioned parameters, the grip being released upon reaching the position of a second belt that is intended to collect the products that do not comply with the parameters.

An article carrier (100) has a mounting portion (1) adapted for connection to a conveyor. A connecting member (4) is rotatably connected to the mounting portion (1) and is rotatable relative to the mounting portion (1) about a first axis of rotation (R1). A carrier portion (3) is rotatably connected to the connecting member (4) and is rotatable relative to the connecting member (4) about a second axis of rotation (R2), wherein the first axis of rotation (R1) is spaced apart from the second axis of rotation (R2). A releasably lockable carrier support means (5) is provided to support the carrier portion (3) in a carriage position when in a locked state, and to allow rotation of the carrier portion (3) to a discharge position when in an unlocked state.

An automated seed sampler includes a sampling station; a sampler for removing material from a seed in the sampling station; a seed conveyer for conveying the seed from the sampling station to a compartment in a seed tray; and a conveyor for conveying the material removed from the seed to a corresponding compartment in a sample tray. The method of the present invention comprises feeding seeds individually to a sampling station, removing a sample from the seed in the sampling station; conveying the sample to a compartment in a sample tray, and conveying the seed to a corresponding compartment in a seed tray. The samples can be tested, and the seeds can be sorted according to the results of the testing of their corresponding samples.

A method and apparatus for product separation and processing are provided where an apparatus for sorting and grouping objects includes an attribute measure device (20), a first conveyor (18) moving at a first rate of speed, a second conveyor (26) oriented perpendicularly to the first conveyor (18) and moving at a second rate of speed which is less than the first rate of speed, a position determination device (30), and a controller unit (22) that groups sets of objects (16) matching a target attribute based on attribute measurements and position information from a population of objects (28).

Seeds supplied from a supply trough are distributed into a plurality of grooves on an upper surface of an alignment trough. The seeds supplied from the alignment trough form the number of rows corresponding to the number of the grooves on the upper surface of the alignment trough also on a belt. A line sensor camera photographs a linear region perpendicular to a moving direction of the belt to inspect the seed in each of the rows. A nozzle device comprises the number of nozzles corresponding to the number of the grooves on the upper surface of the alignment trough. The seed determined to be of a predetermined color by the inspection of the line sensor camera is sucked for each row by each of the nozzles of the nozzle device. Moreover, in a seed-sorting process performed by a seed sorting apparatus, a control unit determines whether a most frequent luminance value is smaller than a luminance reference value. In the case where the most frequent luminance value is smaller than the luminance reference value, the control unit calculates a degree of complexity using calculated peripheral length and area. The control unit determines whether the calculated degree of complexity is within the range of a complexity reference range. In the case where the calculated degree of complexity is within the range of the complexity reference range, the control unit determines whether the length of the seed is within the range of a length reference range. In the case where the length of the seed is within the range of the length reference range, the control unit transmits an instruction signal for instructing a sorting and suction device to suck the seed.
摘要:
A commercial-scale method for processing corn grain includes the steps of flaking corn grain having a total oil content of at least about 8 % and extracting a corn oil from the flaked corn grain. Such a method can be effectuated by processing the high oil corn grain using methods and equipment typically used to process soybeans and other similar oilseed types. In this way, processing plants that flake oilseeds can be used to extract corn oil form corn.
摘要:
An apparatus and a process for preparing a material, such as a sample, for analysis, observation, recording or the like at high accuracy by a simple construction and simple operation, which can form a cut face and/or a cut rift while preventing deformation, destruction and denaturing of the material. The said process comprising embedding a part of the material (11) in a filler (13) in a holder (4) of a holding unit (1) under settling with a settling means (5), holding the protruding portion (11b) of the material (11) by a protruding portion support (7) of a mount (2), freezing the material (11) instantaneously by dry ice placed in dry ice wells (6a, 6b) while effecting a gas phase replacement and cutting the material (11) by a cutter (22) to form a cut face (14) and/or a cut rift (15).
