Vibratory conveyor for fruit or vegetables - has vibratory trough with diagonal outlet, discharging sideways onto sloping corrugated sheet above containers

摘要

The vibratory conveyor for delivering small vegetables or fruit to a line of cans or jars (2) as in the main patent, has a trough (6) containing the product (1) with an opening at the delivery point, whose width which linearly increases in the conveying direction (7). Thus the leading edge (12) of the opening extends diagonally from one side to the other. A surface (11) slopes downwards from this leading edge to the line of cans below, forming a slide surface, having a constant slope. This surface is corrugated forming parallel channels (11) guiding the vegetables to the cans.
