A compact and cleanable food grade feeder device and system for quickly orienting, aligning, and feeding single rolls, sandwiches, odd shaped edibles and foodstuff in order to assemble and make ready for packaging the foodstuff. The feeder device and system includes a centrifugal feeder bowl with a food grade ABS plastic, stainless steel or equal durable material cone cap and a rigid disk base plate, a group of selection and flip, separate channels for good food and return food, a movable support structure with wheels, and a system to drive the conveyor(s) wherein the food grade feeder device and system organizes and aligns a foodstuff so that the organized foodstuff items can be transferred to other machinery or humans to further process and package the items.

Provided is an aligning and conveying apparatus 1 comprising a rotating disk 10 having a disk-shaped bottom wall 11 and supported so as to be rotatable, a first ring 20 having a first circumferential wall 21 surrounding the bottom wall 11 and supported so as to be rotatable, and a second ring 30 having a second circumferential wall 31 surrounding the first circumferential wall 21 and supported so as to be rotatable, wherein a first conveying part 91 and a second conveying part 92 are respectively provided in upper parts of the first circumferential wall 21 and the second circumferential wall 31, in the rotating disk 10 and the first ring 20, the bottom wall 11 is positioned lower than the first conveying part 91 so as to form a retaining space S for retaining preparations P inside the first ring 10, and the respective rotational axes are relatively inclined such that the preparations P move from the bottom wall 11 to the first conveying part 91 at a first delivery position P1, and in the first ring 20 and the second ring 30, the first conveying part 91 is positioned lower than the second conveying part 92, and the respective rotational axes are relatively inclined such that the preparations P move from the first conveying part 91 to the second conveying part 92 at a second delivery position P2.

Disclosed is a method for unblocking the movement of hollow bodies travelling in a line in a conveyor, including: a guiding chute in which each hollow body is intended to take up a freely suspended position; a component for continuously driving hollow bodies into the chute in a direction of movement; a hollow body being likely to take up a position in which it is stuck against a stationary surface of a member that complements the chute and thus to block the movement of the hollow bodies that build up behind same. The method includes an unblocking step which consists of applying an unblocking pulse to the hollow bodies of the blocked line against the direction of movement in order to move the blocking hollow body away from the stationary surface and to allow the blocking hollow body to swivel into the freely suspended position thereof in the chute.

A centrifugal bowl parts feeder system for various relatively heavy parts feeding including automotive bearings, gears, castings and other small, rugged and heavy part1 to 6 inches in diameter and to 5 pounds apiece. The components for this heavy duty centrifugal parts feeder system embraces a feeder bowl system with a durable, high impact bowl and surface, a drive assembly and a shaft connected to an inner disk, a set of selection tooling to separate and organize the parts, and a heavy support structure contiguous and beneath the inner disk. The system also contains both an input and output parts conveyor. All the components permit the heavy duty centrifugal bowl parts feeder system to feed and orient the relatively heavy, rugged and small.

A compact, ultimate, and cleanable food grade feeder device and system for quickly orienting, aligning, and feeding single rolls, sandwiches, oddly shaped edibles, and foodstuff to assemble and make ready for packaging the foodstuff.

A tablet supply apparatus includes: a base frame; a rotary plate rotatably installed on the base frame to outwardly position a tablet by centrifugal force, and inclinedly positioned to have a top dead center point and a bottom dead center point; a transfer plate positioned to surround the rotary plate, rotated with the rotary plate, and having an inclined surface outwardly and downwardly inclined on the same level as that of the top dead center point of the rotary plate, in order to receive the tablet from the top dead center point of the rotary plate; and a guide unit disposed on the outer peripheral surface of the transfer plate, the guide unit allowing the tablet, positioned and transferred on the inclined surface of the transfer plate, to be discharged toward the rotary plate of the inspection unit by centrifugal force and a sliding movement.

A device and method for aligning preforms in a row and righting same, the method being intended for use with axisymmetric preforms having an annular supporting face. The method includes a first step of discharging the preforms in bulk onto a rotating horizontal platen; a second step of aligning the preforms against a fixed peripheral rail by way of the centrifugal force produced by the rotation of the rotating platen; a third step of successively righting the aligned preforms by tilting the preform bodies, performed under the annular supporting face. During the second alignment step, the main axis of the preforms is oriented essentially tangentially to the direction of movement.
