SHUTTLE CONVEYOR SYSTEMS FOR USE WITH A PATTY FORMING MACHINE
20190389661 · 2019-12-26 ·

A jump shuttle conveyor system is configured to receive formed food patties from a molding assembly of a patty forming machine. The system includes a lifting plate and belt assembly coupled to a frame which are configured to be indexed to different vertical positions relative to the frame. Formed food patties are received on a belt of the belt assembly thereon, and can be moved off of the belt onto a transfer shuttle conveyor system. An output conveyor system can be provided to receive the formed food patties.

Singulation of parcels

The invention relates to a method for the singulation of packages, especially for the singulation of parcels. The invention is based on the assumption that the parcels are initially present as a bulk flow. The packages are transported in the form of a package flow on fifteen different transport means at different transport speeds, whereby the transport direction is deflected at least once by approximately 90.

Systems having V-shaped conveyors and methods of using the same

In one embodiment, a transfer system has a conveyor system with first and second conveyors. The first conveyor has inner and outer sides and a first conveyor surface between the inner and outer sides that is configured to carry payloads along a first direction. The second conveyor has inner and outer sides and a second conveyor surface between the inner and outer sides of the second conveyor that is configured to carry payloads along the first direction. The first and second conveyors are coupled to one another such that the inner sides are spaced closer to one another than the outer sides and the first and second conveyors are angularly offset from one another. The transfer system also has a movement system that moves the conveyor system along at least one of a vertical direction, and a second direction so as to align the conveyor system with another conveyor system.

The first conveying unit is provided on the base frame, the second conveying unit is provided on the base frame, and the transfer assembly is provided on the base frame and can transfer a material between the first conveying unit and the second conveying unit. The present disclosure further provides a processing equipment facilitating material distribution and a material distribution method.

SELF-CLEANING RING CONVEYOR
20190248597 · 2019-08-15 ·

A self-cleaning ring conveyor includes a first roller having a first rotational axis and a second roller having a second rotational axis that is parallel with the first rotational axis. The conveyor also includes a first ring extending around a combination of the first roller and the second roller and a second ring extending around the combination of the first roller and the second roller. The first ring and the second ring are parallel to each other. The conveyor also includes a first scraper having a first scraping slot and a second scraping slot. The first ring extends through the first scraping slot and the second ring extends through the second scraping slot.

Conveyor and baking device

This application relates to a conveyor and a baking device. A traction rope may bring an electrode plate to move in a transport space. The traction rope may be of high flexibility and can more smoothly bring the electrode plate to move in various complex environments such as an arcuate oven, thereby effectively avoiding derailment or jamming of the conveyor in the oven and conveying the electrode plate more smoothly in the oven.

Systems, methods, and apparatuses for locating, engaging, and shifting objects in automated or semi-automated fashion

Disclosed herein are systems, methods, and apparatuses for locating, engaging, and shifting objects. The systems may be used to unload objects from a storage space, e.g., inside a vehicle or facility, including one associated with a logistics network operation. The systems disclosed herein may operate in automated or semi-automated fashion, e.g., at the direction of a control system associated with a computing device. The systems may further utilize shifter mechanisms that each include one or more belt-driven mechanisms and position-changing mechanisms that facilitate the locating, engaging, and shifting of objects in a storage space. The components of these systems may operate independently, or in coordination, thereby increasing the efficiency of an object-handling operation.
