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:
The present invention relates to 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 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 (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 (10, 12) comprise screwing sections (14, 21) which regulates an increase or a decrease in the gap between the support members (10) when the adjusting screwing shaft (11) is rotated.
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°.
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.
