Abstract
Computer program products for an apparatus with an automated derucker operatively associated with a netting chute whereby the derucker is configured to automatically travel through a derucker stroke cycle comprising upstream and downstream locations to pull segments of netting material toward a downstream end portion of the netting chute while product is pumped out of the horn.
Claims19
A computer program product for operating a derucking device that cooperates with a supply of elastic netting material, the computer program product comprising:
- a non-transitory computer readable storage medium having computer readable program code embodied in said medium, said computer-readable program code comprising:
- computer readable program code configured to direct the movement of a derucker assembly to cause the derucker to automatically reciprocally move between downstream and upstream locations to carry out a derucker stroke cycle.
A computer program product for operating a derucker assembly with a pair of gripping derucker arms that derucks netting material off a netting chute to provide an encased product, the computer program product comprising:
- a non-transitory computer readable storage medium having computer readable program code embodied in said medium, said computer-readable program code comprising:
- computer readable program code configured with to direct two different operational modes for a pair of gripping derucker arms, a braking mode and a derucking cycle mode.
A computer program product according to 7, wherein the computer readable program code is configured to direct the derucker gripping arms to travel in an automated closed perimeter stroke cycle whereby a respective arm serially moves inwardly toward the netting chute at a first upstream location to close against the netting chute, travels downstream a distance while contacting the netting chute to a second downstream location, then moves away from the netting chute and travels a distance upstream to the first upstream location.
