Bringing sacks of potatoes onto pallets or other supports, by retracting a reciprocating belt device, with simultaneous manipulation of a belt, so that the sack stands still relative to the supporting device and leaves in on the free end

摘要

Several products (65) are brought onto a belt (7) of a reciprocating belt device (3), then the reciprocating belt (3) is partly brought into a position above a supporting device (51), such that the product sack (65) extends in or above the supporting device (51). Then the reciprocating belt device (3) is retracted, with simultaneous manipulation of the belt (7), such that at the upper surface of the belt (7), products sack (65), stands still relative to the supporting device (51), viewed in the direction of movement of the reciprocating belt device (3), and leave the belt (7) along a free end. The mechanical stops (67) are employed with which the position of the products (65) with respect to the supporting device (51) viewed in horizontal direction is retained when fluctuations occur in the speed of movement of the reciprocating belt device (3), in particular in case of fluctuations in the speed of movement relative to the speed of movement of the belt (7). An Independent claim is given for apparatus to bring products onto pallets.
