The present subject matter relates to an impact bed system with an integrated shock absorber component (100) and a conveyor belt system thereof. The system (200) includes a flexible impact bed (202) including a plurality of cuboidal elements (204) arranged in an array, wherein the plurality of cuboidal elements are spatially coupled to each other; at least four extending elements (206) coupled to two opposite sides of the impact bed, wherein at least two extending elements are placed at each of the opposite sides of the impact bed; a pair of elongated cuboidal blocks (208) coupled to a mounting base plate (210), when in operation; at least four upright elongated components (214) coupled to the pair of elongated cuboidal blocks and the at least two support members; at least four shock absorber components coupled between the at least four upright elongated components and the at least four extending elements.

A protector for installation on a floor includes: a guard part comprising a contact surface portion having first screw through-holes formed therethrough, a middle portion which is coupled upward from the edge of the contact surface portion to be primarily impacted, and wing portions integrally coupled to both sides of the middle portion, respectively; a base part having third screw through-holes formed therethrough so as to be fixed to a floor surface while being brought into contact with the floor surface; an intermediate body disposed between the guard part and the base part and having second screw through-holes formed therethrough; and stud bolts passing through the guard part, the intermediate body, and the base part so as to fix the base part to the floor surface, wherein when an external force is applied, the elastic and flexible intermediate body is compressed in a collision direction to effectively reduce the impact.

A system for processing fruit or vegetable products of the type of blueberries and the like, includes a first unit, in its turn having in series at least one loading station, at least one pre-sizing station, at least one pre-selection station and at least one first alignment station. The system further includes a second unit, in its turn having in series at least one second alignment station, at least one optical sizing station and at least one distribution station. Each of the first unit and the second unit has dimensions and space occupation compatible with its accommodation and transport in a single container.

Horizontal motion conveyors for moving material are disclosed. The horizontal motion conveyor includes multiple drives. The second drive may float relative to the first drive. The conveyor may be made successively longer by including additional floating drives. Each drive may include a motor such as a servomotor that is connected to the driveshaft that drives the horizontal motion of the conveyor. A control system may control the rotation and positioning of the shafts.

A brake device for a conveyor system where pallets are conveyed on a transport plane, comprising a body having a first section and a second section, where the first section is provided with a pivot element comprising an inclined landing zone with a second nose, and where the second section comprises an inclined contact surface with a first nose, where the brake device is pivotably suspended on an axle, where the brake device is adapted to hold a first position in which the first nose extends over the transport plane, where the brake device is adapted to hold a second position in which the second nose extends over the transport plane, and where the brake device comprises a damper element arranged between the pivot element and the first section of the body of the brake device.

A method for operating a tray conveying apparatus, wherein a tray edge of a tray to be destacked is guided in contact with and along a support until the tray has been deposited on a conveying unit positioned therebelow. An apparatus for destacking and further conveying trays that may comprise a destacker for destacking trays, wherein the destacker may also comprise a frame for accommodating at least one tray stack and a plurality of destacking screws configured to be operated in a respective direction of rotation. Each destacking screw may comprise a helically configured spiral or groove with a support. A conveying unit may be positioned below the destacker and used for receiving and transporting the destacked trays from the destacker.

An aerial roof height item receiving structure demonstrating novel solutions to issues of item drop damage, noise, aesthetic, weather, item temperature, and safety concerns related to aerial based item delivery systems is presented. A chimney like chute can be made high enough to avoid collisions with people or pets yet still safely receive items dropped into it from heights through the use of impact absorbing pads and a mesh box spring within the chute. Heat exchange with the building structure or active heating or cooling of the box spring mitigate snow, ice, and item temperature issues. A swing door to function as an aerial unit charging platform for added distance delivery can be added to the top of the chute. An item drop box placed at human accessible height can also be added to allow the chute to dual function for traditional item deliveries.

Horizontal motion conveyors for moving material are disclosed. The horizontal motion conveyor includes multiple drives. The second drive may float relative to the first drive. The conveyor may be made successively longer by including additional floating drives. Each drive may include a motor such as a servomotor that is connected to the driveshaft that drives the horizontal motion of the conveyor. A control system may control the rotation and positioning of the shafts.

A belt conveyor has a plurality of impact bars installed beneath a conveyor belt in transverse directions along a longitudinal direction of the belt in order to prevent the conveyor belt from sagging, and thus an operator can easily replace and check impact bars without stopping driving of the belt when replacing and checking the impact bars.

A brake device for a conveyor system where pallets are conveyed on a transport plane, comprising a body having a first section and a second section, where the first section is provided with a pivot element comprising an inclined landing zone with a second nose, and where the second section comprises an inclined contact surface with a first nose, where the brake device is pivotably suspended on an axle, where the brake device is adapted to hold a first position in which the first nose extends over the transport plane, where the brake device is adapted to hold a second position in which the second nose extends over the transport plane, and where the brake device comprises a damper element arranged between the pivot element and the first section of the body of the brake device.
