A conveyor system for translating objects is disclosed, each object with vertical protrusions extending upward and/or downward from one or more sides of the object. The conveyor system can accommodate structural members such as roof truss members, on which connector plates are affixed and from which the connector plates protrude vertically up, down, or both. The conveyor system may have a slide or some other support for the objects. The slide or other support may be narrow. The slide or other support can be tall, relative to an object. The conveyor system may have an engagement tool driven by an overhead carriage to translate the objects along the slide or other support. The engagement tool may be narrow. The engagement tool can be tall, relative to an object.

The present invention provides a material conveying device including a material conveying groove, having a traveling track; a material bearing and conveying assembly, including: an annular chain; traveling units arranged on the chain at intervals, drivable by the chain to move on the traveling track along a material conveying direction, and provided with a bottom surface close to the material conveying groove, a top surface opposite the bottom surface and side surfaces extending between the top and bottom surfaces; a belt-shaped elastic material bearing portion, connected to the top surfaces and/or the side surfaces of the two adjacent traveling units; and a driving device to drive the chain to circularly rotate relative to the material conveying groove along the material conveying direction. The working state of material conveying equipment can be improved, and the stability and economic index of the equipment can be enhanced.

A peeling apparatus and method using rotating rollers as a peeling bed includes a mechanism that moves food products through the peeling bed. The mechanism has multiple walls mounted to a continuous loop that is driven over the peeling bed to define cavities between each adjacent pair of walls. The walls' lower edges are spaced close to the rollers to prevent food products from exiting a cavity. One or more of the walls may have cleaners, such as spray nozzles connected to high pressure liquid, to clean particles from the rollers. The nozzles spray the particles off as the spray nozzles pass over the rollers during normal operation of the peeling apparatus.

A pallet assembly including an overhead conveyor system having a conveyor platform and a push rail, a loading assembly, a stacking assembly, and a release assembly. The loading assembly provides a pallet to the overhead conveyor system. The stacking assembly is located below the conveyor platform and includes a first chute, a first movable floor, and a first height adjustment mechanism. The release assembly, which is coupled to a portion of the conveyor platform, includes a portion selectively configured to release a pallet into a first chute.
