CONVEYING DEVICE IN MACHINES FOR GRADING FRUIT AND VEGETABLE PRODUCTS

摘要

The transport device is applied to an apparatus for grading fruit and vegetable products including a conveyor developed along a horizontal direction and equipped with haul-off units (3) of a plurality of means (10) to support the products (2), arranged regularly spaced and suited to convey the same products (2) at a quality control station (C) through near infra-red spectrography. Each support means (10) consists of a cup-shaped rest member (11) having at the bottom a feed-through opening (20) arranged vertically aligned with a corresponding void (7) defined by the haul-off units (3), in order to allow the direct passage of a light beam, which passes, through transmittance, the individual product (2) placed resting in the central cavity (12) of the cup-shaped rest member (11) at the quality control station (C).
