摘要

An article handling apparatus, particularly for fruit, includes a belt (11) which has its delivery end (12) substantially centrally positioned over a rotor (13) enabling the belt (11) to be relatively wide and capable of handling a substantial volume of fruit. Chutes (18) can feed fruit (3) on to wave action flaps (18a) enabling the fruit to be distributed front and back and each side of the delivery end (12).
