DEVICE FOR PROCESSING FLEXIBLE SHEETLIKE PRODUCT

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To handle a product carefully by moving many conveyance elements arranged on an intermediate conveyor in the front and rear mutually in the direction of circulation along a circulation path by passing a receive region and a transfer region. SOLUTION: Since a deflection shaft 60 of a belt conveyor 56 arranged below a roller part 54 in a receive region 16 is positioned on the outside in the radial direction of the roller part 54, the belt conveyor 56 grips a lower side of a corresponding product 14 protruding from a belt conveyor 10 and lifts this product 14 in the direction of circulation U. The roller part 54 is further rotated in the reverse direction to the direction of circulation U until a side part 80 comes into contact with the product 14 slightly before the product 14 is released from a weight roller 22. It is preferable that a rotation speed (circulation speed) V2 of the belt conveyor 56 and the side part 80 is substantially equal to a speed V1 of the belt conveyor 10. Consequently, the product 14 is handled very carefully because it is moved further continuously.
