Sweepout apparatus and method.

摘要

A shuttle type sweepout mechanism is described wherein the 90 DEG sweepout that consists of rotary head driven through an arc is mounted on a support that is translated in the direction of the moving conveyor. With the sweepout head (15a,15b) capable of being rotated and translated makes it feasible to have an array of deadplates (13a,13b) that are in alignment but at different distances from a pair of parallel conveyors (14a,14b) that transport the ware to the lehr (16). <IMAGE>
