A flight for use in a mesh conveyor belt assembly that can have a first planar portion and a second planar portion extending non-coplanar to the first planar portion. The first planar portion can have a pair of tabs extending therefrom. Each tab can have a through-hole configured to receive a cross-rod of the mesh conveyor belt assembly therethrough.

Bed foundation beams are sandwiched by a compression bar extending parallel to the first and second rails and moved towards the first and second rails while being conveyed. Further, the first and second rails and the spacers are sandwiched against spaced fixtures on an endless chain. While being compressed and sandwiched, staple guns fasten the rails and spacers together. The fixtures include front and back stops, with the back stop pivotable about a fixture axis to be movable by a cam moving in a cam track from a pushing position extending perpendicular to the endless chain and abutting with a trailing edge of one of the spacers and a non-intervening position after the staple gun and before the sprocket of the endless chain to reduce the apparatus footprint.

A device comprising a conveyor such as a sorter comprises a support surface for an object, and a moveable barrier, wherein said barrier comprises a bottom side for contact with the support surface and a top side, and is moveable relative to the support surface with a directional component, which directional component is i) parallel to the support surface and ii) transverse to the direction of movement of the support surface. So as to reduce the risk of an object getting stuck between the barrier and the support surface, the barrier comprises a multitude of independently moveable barrier elements having free distal ends for contact with the support surface and defining the bottom edge of the barrier, wherein the barrier elements are mounted such that the distal ends of the barrier element are moveable with a vertical directional component.

A pick-up web for an agricultural machine, in particular, for picking up and transporting nut fruit in a nut harvester along a conveyor device. The pick-up web comprising at least two endless circulating belts for driving the pick-up web and several rods extending perpendicular to the direction of transport of the pick-up web creating a sieve-type transport surface. The pick-up web further comprising several tappets and sweeping teeth each projecting perpendicularly away from the sieve-type transport surface.
