Conveyors
This pair of PVC belted stainless steel conveyors are mounted on a box section frame work, on a 1 degree angle to each other. This allows the produce to have a decline to transfer from conveyor to conveyor as the product flows around the conveyor system. The counting machine hoppers sense if more product is required and open the pneumatic gates.
Conveyors of this type, constructed of stainless steel, are often used in busy packaging warehouses. The gravity rollers are mounted from the side of the conveyor allowing the operatives to pick the product from the racking system located behind them & place the product(s) in a plastic tote bin positioned on the rollers. This would then be either moved along to the next packaging station or placed onto the center conveyor to be transferred to the dispatch area of the warehouse.

These two conveyors are positioned beneath a Newtec weigh head machine used on small carrot batons. The benefit of using two conveyor towards the centre, over one longer conveyor to the side, is that it increases the discharge cycle time of the weigh heads, as the produce from the ends only travels half the distance. These conveyors use a wedge cleated style of belt, this assists the product to travel along it once its been dropped from the weigh heads. These conveyors feed directly in to a hopper situated above a vertical form fill bagging machine.

1. Directed from this conveyor to another conveyor situated 90 degrees from it.
2. Allows the product to continue onward.
3. A mixture of both 1 & 2
The conveyor had a pnuematic ram later fitted to an automated controler allowing the plough to be postioned in one of three postions, depending on the desired flow.
