Abstract: A machine for tumble-coating food or other product with a coating material comprises a product conveyor belt and a carrier conveyor system, which underlies and supports at least a portion of the upper run of the product conveyor belt in a tumble or processing zone. The product conveyor belt and the carrier conveyor system work in conjunction with one another to allow the product conveyor to sag between a pair of adjacent, spaced-apart support rollers on the carrier conveyor system, forming a tumble chamber. Products captured in the tumble chamber are coated with a charge of coating material introduced into the tumble chamber. The formed tumble chambers are moved along as the product conveyor is driven, and products within the chambers are continuously tumbled and moved within the coating material to achieve excellent coating or breading characteristics and appearance. For the breading or other coating of food products, the machine and methods of the invention can produce unique "homestyle" coating appearances and textures.

Abstract: The device according to the invention for ejecting sheet metal blanks from a processing station or for any transport of such sheet metal blanks has ejector dogs mounted on a transport conveyor, which bump the trailing edge (trailing in the ejection direction (A)) to eject the blanks. These ejector dogs are arranged so that upon impact on the blank edge they are shifted and/or tilted in a damped manner, and with absorption of energy, with respect to the transport conveyor, in the opposite direction to the ejection direction, thus reducing the forces acting on the edge of the blank. As transport conveyor, the preferred embodiment has a toothed belt which is elastically deformed and deflected from its path upon impact of the dog on the blank edge, so that the belt itself acts as damper and as return spring for the dog.

Abstract: A processing apparatus, conveyor and method for processing products or materials, such as food processing equipment or methods, is configured such that the conveyor travels in a generally helical path within a processing chamber to expose products on the conveyor to a gaseous processing media such as heated or cooled air. The conveyor includes gas flow compensation including a plurality of gas flow compensation members which partially block a portion of the surface of the conveyor, preferably toward the exterior of the conveyor in the helical path, to deflect or direct more of the gaseous food processing media away from the less densely distributed products or materials at the exterior of the conveyor caused when the conveyor follows the helical path. The processing media is thus preferably forced in the direction of the more densely distributed products toward the interior of conveyor to uniformly expose product on the conveyor to the processing media. Alternatively, the flow compensation members may be configured to direct the flow of the processing media in other predetermined paths, such as counter to the travel direction of the conveyor.

Abstract: A modular link conveyor including a plurality of modular link assemblies made up of links of an improved design assembled to create a closely interdigitating conveying surface is disclosed. The improved links eliminate undesirable gaps or openings in the conveying surface. Particularly, the improved links include a forwardly extending tongue, projecting from the leading apex of the link, which occupies an open space between the trailing apexes of the legs of the next forward link, thus minimizing the tendency of foreign objects from falling into the open space. The topside of the tongue is tapered downward so as to lift free any objects present in the open spaces primarily while the conveyor is maneuvering through a turn. A forwardly projecting finger, positioned between adjoining links, is also provided for filling a void between the adjoining links. The finger aids in dislodging any foreign objects present in an opening between the legs of the next forward adjoining link, also primarily during turning.

Abstract: A dough cutting and packing apparatus capable of processing and packaging dough products of differing dimensions includes a plurality of cutting plates supported adjacent one another to form an endless cutting unit. A container positioning mechanism positions a plurality of containers relative to the openings to receive the dough pieces after they are removed by the reciprocating packing mechanism. A servo motor drive actuation of both the cutter bar indexing drive system and the container advancement system allows for accurate positioning by reprogramming the servo drive for a particular product dimension rather than mechanically changing over to alternate equipment. A self-contained container advancement module can be removed and replaced with another container module suitable for delivering containers of different dimensions. A removable sprocket and chain system are dedicated to cutter bars of a particular size such that significant retooling is not required to change cutter bars and support chains in order to process dough products of different dimensions.

Abstract: The invention relates to a conveyor system for transporting containers. The conveyor system is made of an endless belt to which are mounted pivotable flaps having abutments to limit their pivotal movement beyond a predetermined angle when the belt is travelling in a generally upward direction so as to form pockets for transporting containers to the top of the conveyor. When the flaps reach the top portion of the conveyor, they pivot under the effect of gravity to a retracted position where they lay flat against the belt thereby allowing the containers in the pockets to be discharged while providing sufficient clearance for the belt to be in close proximity with a chute which receives the containers. The conveyor of the present invention can thus function effectively in a generally vertical position and is thus more space efficient.

Abstract: A computer controlled powered storage rail for use as a bridge between conveyor systems comprises a motor driven chain that is shaped to receive hangers bearing articles of clothing from a first conveyor, and transports them to a second conveyor. A hanger metering device located between the rail and the second conveyor enables the hangers to be fed to the second conveyor singly, and a control system provides that this occurs only when a suitable space is available on the second conveyor for receipt of the hanger. The rail itself may further serve as a temporary storage buffer for articles in transit between conveyors.
