Improvements to the subject of main patent No. 8803831, submitted on 16 December 1988, for machine for metering out/packaging fruit

摘要

The machine comprises a vessel for containing fruit with a metering base, a device for supplying cans and a series of hoppers which convey the fruits from the metering base to the cans. The hoppers are mounted on a disc parallel to the base of the vessel and it is actuated by means of a shaft and gears, on the basis of a motor independent of that which actuates the base of the vessel. The motor which actuates the hopper-carrying disc is activated by a fruit counter (meter) whenever the can located in the filling zone has received the preset number of fruits. IMAGE
