Chain transporter system divides stream of products into two separate channels, is less complicated than previous product stream dividers and less likely to damage products

摘要

Products are carried in holders (10) which fit over ribs (9) on the upper surfaces of links (8) in a continuous chain (2). The chain is also flexible longitudinally, so that as it passes over a flat plate it can be moved from side to side by a pneumatic cylinder (11) acting on the chain drive wheel (6). Once a product holder has been deposited on one side of the output chain transporter (3, 4, 5). The cylinder operates to deposit the next holder on the other side.
