PURPOSE:To enable a smooth encasing of various sizes of fruits/vegetables without deteriorating the value of merchandises by laterally and longitudinally variable-driving the distance of a slider from which suction elements are hung before fruits/vegetables are moved to the fruits/vegetables encasing position, so as to adapting respective suction elements to the specific encasing distance. CONSTITUTION:Respective fruits/vegetables 3... to be supplied from a conveying belt are placed in an alignment field and corrected by vibration so that their smooth surfaces capable of being held may be turned up. At the same time, they are alingned in the alignment state corresponding to respective cups of a fruits/vegetables conveying bands stucked, and placed on respective cups. And then, a suction unit 8 is raised and lowered, and respective fruits/vegetables 3 are held by respective suction elements 9. At this time, respective lateral shafts 36 are slid along vertical shafts by the operation of an air cylinder 4, while respective vertical shafts are slid along the lateral shafts 36 by the operation of an air cylinder 47, moreover respective suction elements 9 are positioned at the lateral land longitudinal distance corresponding to the encasing distance. After that, the suction unit 8 is moved, and the fruits/vegetables 3 are encased in a box placed on the encasing position. |
