Abstract:
The present invention relates to an apparatus, system and method for volume distribution of objects in a system for grading sensitive products. The grading device of the present invention has grading channels that are wider at the outlet than at the intake. The belt machine draws the objects forward between two inclined belts which form the channel. Adjusting devices are implemented perpendicular underneath the belts of the apparatus and imaging means are used for feedback signals to regulate the take-away process.
Abstract:
In-feed device (1) for feeding objects onto a grading apparatus (13) for grading sensitive products. The in-feed device (1) comprises a new type of sliding plates (4, 5) and vibrating motors (7) to arrange the objects and to rinse small particles from the objects to be graded.
Abstract:
An apparatus and a method for grading sensitive products. The apparatus and a method treat the objects to be graded gently and is accurate and may be constructed so as to handle extremely large quantities. The grading device (1) has grading channels that are wider at the outlet than at the intake. A belt machine draws the objects forward between two inclined belts (6) which form the channel. The device and the method make possible to make corrections in the grading process and to fine-tune the grading unit during the grading process.

A belt machine draws the objects forward between two inclined belts (3) which form the channel. An adjusting device (9) is implemented perpendicular underneath the belts (3) of the apparatus comprising alternatively arranged support members (10) and adjusting members (12) arranged on an adjusting screwing shaft (11). Both components comprise screwing sections (19, 18) which regulate an increase or a decrease in the gap between the support members (10) when the adjusting screwing shaft (11) is rotated.

Abstract:
The present invention relates to a method and device for grading objects according to at least one characteristic property of the objects. The method comprising feeding at least one separating unit with an upward facing inlet and a downward facing outlet moving with constant speed with objects following a first path with at least one characteristic property. By utilizing that said at least one separating unit reacts on the objects with friction force of different size depending on the characteristic property of said objects, wherein objects flowing through the outlet of said separating follow at least one second path that is characteristic for at least one characteristic property of said objects, wherein objects following each path are collected together.
Abstract:
This invention relates to an in-feed distributing unit (30) for distributing an uneven stream of individual objects intended to be graded or handled in other way. A sliding member (32) having an in-feed area (1) and an out-feed area (2) with a base unit (20) is provided and arranged incline on a supporting frame. One or more conveyors (3,4) run at one or more conveying speed are arranged below the sliding member and adapted to receive the released objects from out-feed (2) area of said sliding member and optionally from the upper arranged conveyor and advancing the objects in the forward direction, and a grading means is arranged below said one or more conveyors for receiving and grading the objects from said conveying means. The base unit (20) is at least partly moveable in its plane in a continuous eccentric movement, following in that the introduced objects at the in-feed area (1) slide towards said out-feed area (2) due to the incline arrangements of the base unit (20) while being distributed along said base unit due to said eccentric movement and wherein the one or more conveyors are adapted to distribute the objects further in the conveying direction through the one or more conveying speed and thereby preparing the object for grading.

Abstract:
The present invention relates to an in-feed distributing unit for distributing an uneven stream of individual elongated objects prior to be grading. One or more conveyors (3, 4) operating at one or more conveyors speed area arranged adapted to transport a stream of individual elongated objects in a conveying direction onto a grading means (6) arranged there below. Each conveyor comprises a plurality of dividing plates (7, 8).
Abstract:
A grading apparatus for grading objects such as in particular fish or shrimp in respect of their size, comprising a plurality of juxtaposed substantially parallel endless conveyor belts (27), wherein the width (9) separating adjacent conveyor belts is larger at the unloading end (29) than at the loading end (28) of the belts and define sorting channels through which the items fall down when the channel width corresponds to the width of the item, each conveyor belt comprising a plurality of hinged segments with a sloping cross-section such that in between each adjacent pair of belts is formed a V-shaped valley with substantially continuous sloping sides (2), each side being at an angle in the range of about 70-85°.
