A CONVEYOR SYSTEM AND A METHOD FOR PRODUCING A SEQUENCE OF DISCRETE FOOD ITEMS FROM A PLURALITY OF INCOMING FOOD OBJECTS

摘要

This invention relates to a conveyor system (300) and a method for producing a sequence of discrete food items from a plurality of incoming food objects including at least one food item conveyed by an in-feed conveyor including an in-feed conveyor belt (321) such that the distance between adjacent food objects of said sequence of discrete food objects fulfils a predetermined distance criterion. It includes a first conveyor belt (301) adjacent to the in-feed conveyor belt (321) and a second conveyor belt (302) adjacent to the first conveyor belt (301). The adjacent ends of the first and second conveyors belts (301,302) are operable connected together via a junction (303) which can be moved forth and back. The conveyor system (300) further includes an imaging mechanism (320) and a control unit (319).
