Abstract
A method for conveying and a conveyor system having a plurality of conveyor sections arranged in series transports articles. The articles can be accelerated on the conveyor system but adjacent conveyor sections have substantially the same speed when the articles are passed between them so as to reduce wear or damage to the articles.
Claims4
A method of emptying a tray, said method comprising the steps of
- allowing the tray to slide down an inclined surface,
- stopping the tray by letting it collide with an edge projecting upwards from said surface,
- emptying the tray to discharge its contents which continue movement beyond said edge due to its inertia and the force of gravity, and
- conveying the emptied tray to a loading position by a second conveyor line.
