Abstract:
A cross-belt sorter (1) comprises a plurality of interconnected carriers (3) which are drivable behind each other in a conveying direction (X). Each of the carriers (3) is provided with a cross-belt (7) for supporting a product. The cross-belt (7) is drivable in a belt driving direction (Y) extending transversely to the conveying direction (X). A pushing element (25) is mounted to the cross-belt (7) for pushing against a product on the cross-belt (7) in the event that a product on the cross-belt (7) tends to move with respect to the cross-belt (7) in opposite direction of the belt driving direction (Y). The pushing element (25) has an upright orientation with respect to the cross-belt (7) and is supported in the belt driving direction (Y) by a supporting member (26) which is at least between opposite side edges of the cross-belt (7) fixed to the pushing element (25) and to the cross-belt (7) at respective distances from an intersection between the pushing element (25) and the cross-belt (7).
Abstract:
An accessory assembly (1) of toothed belts (9), toothed conveyor belts (9a) or portions thereof, comprising a base piece (2), a first piece (3) and a second piece (4) with respectively a first, a second and a fourth coupling part (21, 31, 41). The first and the second coupling part (21, 31) are complementary to one another so that the first piece (3) is couplable above the base piece (2) in one or more predetermined positions and the fourth and the first coupling part (41, 21) are complementary to one another so that the second piece (4) is couplable above the base piece (2) in one or more predetermined positions. The first piece (3) comprises a third coupling part (32) complementary to the fourth coupling part (41) and which faces in an opposite direction to the second coupling part (31).

Abstract:
A rotary grouping module comprises a module frame, first and second driving subassemblies, and first and second module carriages. The module frame defines a loop, and the first and second driving subassemblies are secured thereto. Each driving subassembly comprises an endless drive that extends about the loop. Each module carriage is releasably attached to an endless drive and comprises a flexible substrate to which a plurality of compartments is connected.
Abstract:
A conveyor for transferring articles off the end of a conveyor belt onto a discharge conveyor. The conveyor comprises a conveyor belt overlain by belt strands along a carryway. The belt strands are received in recesses below the conveying surface of the conveyor belt. The conveyor belt travels an inner circuit inside an outer circuit encircled by the belt strands. The outer circuit diverges from the inner circuit at an end of the carryway. The belt strands extend the carryway and strip articles from the conveyor belt to transfer them to a downstream discharge conveyor or receive articles from an upstream infeed conveyor.
Abstract:
An apparatus and method for metering and treating seed. The apparatus incorporates a belt conveyor or circular conveyor within a housing enabling a low-profile configuration, the conveyor having a plurality of cleats forming a series of separate voids for transporting determinable volumes of seed, and a seed treatment applicator adjacent the conveyor outlet for applying seed treatment to the seed. The apparatus and method enables the application of seed treatment based on a mass flow calculation derived from the measured volume flow through the apparatus.
