A conveying system for shock-sensitive items, in particular eggs, is provided and comprises a plurality of conveying devices in which items are transferred from one conveying device to another. In particular, the conveying system comprises a motion transmission assembly which ensures synchronism between the advancement of a first conveying device and the advancement of a second conveying device, so as to optimize the transfer of items carried by the first to the second conveying device and allow the items to be transferred in the smoothest possible way.

An automated food grade conveyor, placement and feeder device and system for singulating and placing rolls, egg, meat, or protein patties, and/or cheese and other foodstuffs to assemble and prepare a sandwich, the system being made of food grade materials that are easily cleanable and being made compact and on wheels which results in a system that significantly reduces time, labor, and waste while increasing productivity, quality and freshness; it includes bulk feeding specific food items through a food grade centrifugal feed system, placing the food items with a chain driven pick and place device, transferring food items to separate servo driven trains, automatically placing of a food pattie onto a sliced bun, wrapping of a completed sandwich, and placing the sandwich on a tray, box or container.

A conveying system for shock-sensitive items, in particular eggs, comprises a plurality of conveying devices in which the items are transferred from one conveying device to another. More particularly, the items are transferred from a conveying device oriented in a substantially horizontal direction to an adjacent conveying device oriented in a substantially vertical direction, without the risk of being damaged. The advancing movement of the conveying device having a substantially horizontal orientation is not movement at constant speed but, on the contrary, it is a movement at variable speed, sometimes accelerated and sometimes decelerated, and the transfer of the conveyed item from the conveying device to the conveying device having a substantially vertical orientation takes place when the advancement speed of the conveying device having a substantially horizontal orientation is at its minimum value.

A method of installing pre-molded seal caps onto fasteners that extend from a surface comprises sequentially delivering the pre-molded seal caps, arranged on a carrier strip, to a plunger mechanism via a feed system. The method also comprises sequentially removing the pre-molded seal caps from the carrier strip using the plunger mechanism, operating in concert with the feed system. The method further comprises individually installing the pre-molded seal caps onto selected ones of the fasteners using the plunger mechanism.
