MATERIAL FEEDER FOR CARRYING CONVEYOR

摘要

PURPOSE:To eliminate uneven concentration of print by detecting an empty carrying pan and functioning a supply conveyor to supply tube to the empty carrying pan thereby eliminating the empty carrying pan. CONSTITUTION:Upon detection of no material mounted on the carrying pan 12 of carrying conveyor 10 by means of a detector 60, a signal is fed to the control section 70 to rotate a sprocket 24 thus to rotate the supply conveyor 20 synchronously with single material carrying conveyor 10. Consequently, the tube 2 for supplying material mounted on the carrying pan 22 at the position of the detector 62 is carried to the supply section 38 where it will drop from the carrying pan 22 onto the empty pan 12 on the conveyor 10 thereby the empty pan 12 is continuously supplied with material 2.
