Abstract: A roller-type conveying device for fruit and vegetable sorting includes a chain assembly and a conveying unit. Fruits and vegetables are placed on the conveying unit. The chain assembly includes a drive chain and a chain support bar, and the drive chain is arranged on the chain support bar. A conveying unit is arranged along a drive chain. The conveying unit includes outer rollers, a roller frame, pin shafts, rubber bushings, a roller shaft, and a support base. The two outer rollers are fixed coaxially on the two ends of the roller shaft. The roller shaft is equipped with the rubber bushing. The roller shaft is movably fitted into a special-shaped hole slot on the top of the roller frame. The roller shaft is arranged axially perpendicular to the transmission direction of the drive chain. The support base is mounted on the drive chain.

Abstract: This invention relates to improvements in and relating to apparatus for singularising clustered fruit and to the methods of manufacturing and using the apparatus. In particular, the apparatus and the methods of manufacturing and using the apparatus are directed to singularise fruit from a cluster by separation at the stem knuckle or join of the cluster, to effect single fruit retaining a quality stem and having desired qualities and presentation properties, without damaging the fruit, as required for and/or dictated by the target market, where the market is comprised of the local consuming public and/or broader commercial and/or business enterprises whether domestic and/or overseas. The invention will be applicable to fruits which demonstrate the propensity for clustering, such as cherries, although the invention can be and may be adapted for use in singularising other clustered fruits, such as tomatoes, beans, peas, plums, and so forth.

Abstract: A root crop conveyor is provided for cleaning and/or separating root crops, including at least two adjacent roller groups, each of which have at least two rollers, which each rotate about an axis of rotation and of which the axes of rotation form a roller group plane. An adjusting device is provided with at least one adjusting means. At least the rollers of at least one roller group are mounted, on one side, in at least one side part which interacts with the adjusting means, such that actuation of the adjusting means can give rise to movement of the at least one roller group plane relative to a frame in which the root crop conveyor can be arranged. wherein the adjusting device pivots the roller group plane. The rollers of a roller group are connected to one another via a scissors mechanism.

Abstract: The invention relates to a tipping actuator for a conveyor system that comprises a plurality of article carriers moving on an endless conveyor in a conveying direction, each article carrier having a carrier frame for bearing an article, the carrier frame being pivotally mounted on the article carrier and operable to tip to enable discharge of the article borne on the carrier frame. The tipping actuator comprises a trigger member for contacting the article carriers to tip them and is configured such that, when in a non-contact position, the article carriers are able to at least partly tip towards the trigger member such that the contact portion of the trigger member is received by a portion of the article carrier. In another embodiment, a contact portion of the trigger is sloped with two different gradients. An electromagnet may be used to cause actuation of the trigger. The tipping actuator may be able to allow tipping in opposite directions of adjacent carriers, for example in some embodiments the trigger may be formed of upstream and downstream parts.

Abstract: Separating system for separating a support and a product arranged on the support. According to one embodiment the system includes conveying means adapted for receiving the product arranged on its support and for conveying the products in a first conveyance direction. The conveying means includes two product support elements separated from one another in at least one point by a width less than a width of the product (the width of the product being transverse to the first conveyance direction) and greater than the width of its support (with the width of the support being transverse to the first conveyance direction), such that the product is supported by, and conveyed on, the product support elements of the conveying means, and the support is separated from the product upon the product being supported on the product support elements.
