Conveyors

This plough conveyor was used to transport carrots.

Conveyors of this type are found in various food production factorys. This particular conveyor was used to transport carrots from a raw material (wash-in) plant towards a packaging area.
The rotary plough unit allows the carrots to follow one of three paths:
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.
This conveyor was fabricated in 2013.
