Abstract:
A conveyor system and method for spreading a mass of electrically conductive articles, such as aluminum cans, being transferred from an infeed conveyor to a wider discharge conveyor. A transfer device between the infeed and discharge conveyors uses linear induction to propel and spread electrically conductive articles across a continuous transfer surface with or without the aid of backpressure or mechanical spreading means.
Abstract:
A conveyor and method for moving articles comprising a conductive material across a conveying surface using a touchless guide device disposed adjacent to a product path. The guide device generates a repelling force on a conveyed product to propel the conveyed product along the product path. Embodiments of the guide device include a linear induction motor and an array of alternating permanent magnets.

Abstract:
La présente invention concerne un dispositif (1) rotatif de transfert et d'indexation d' objets (O) métalliques comportant une soudure comportant un premier moyen (5) d' entraînement en rotation monté sur un arbre de rotation (2), et des moyens d'indexation (8) des dits objets métalliques, solidaires dudit premier moyen (5) d' entraînement en rotation, et des moyens (5) de détection de la position d'une dite soudure sur les dits objets métalliques. Selon l'invention, lesdits moyens d'indexation (8) d ' objets métalliques sont montés libres en rotation sur un axe (9) solidaire dudit premier moyen (5) d' entraînement en rotation et coopèrent avec des second s moyens (26,27) d'entraînement en rotation pour initier une rotation propre des dits moyens d' indexation (8) sur eux -mêmes et entretenir cette rotation sans contact avec les dits moyens d'indexation simultanément aux mouvements de rotation dudit premier moyen d ' entraînement en rotation autour dudit arbre.
Abstract:
In a chain conveyor (1) provided with cleats (2) to withdraw containers (4) and feed them to a rotary seamer (7) in a substantially horizontal plane of conveyance, the actuating chain (3) is positioned on a plane that is inclined relative to the plane of conveyance but not orthogonal thereto. In prior art solutions for chain conveyors with cleats, the chain is positioned In a vertical plane, this entailing problems linked to the size of the cleats, or in a horizontal plane, this entailing mechanical problems related to the sliding and lubrication of the chain.
Abstract:
An endless conveyor belt (1) comprises a number of links (2) which are each coupled to an adjacent link (3) by means of a hinge. Added to each link is a carrier (8, 9) which has a discrete, flat first carrying surface (18) which consists of the outer surfaces (16) of a number of mutually coupled plates (14, 15) extending with second mutual intermediate spaces in longitudinal direction of the conveyor belt, wherein corresponding plates (14, 15) of adjacent links (43) lie in the saure plane. In the second intermediate space there fits a row, extending in transverse direction, of fixedly disposed fingers (16) which extend in longitudinal direction and form a discrete, flat second carrying surface (17) which, at the position of co-action with the first carrying surface (18), lies in the saure plane as this first carrying surface, which fingers are disposed at the end of the active part (19) of the conveyor belt and can take over for further transport.

Abstract:
Transport device and method for transporting cans (9) in a conveyance direction (X), wherein the transport device comprises an upstream conveyor (41) and a downstream conveyor (42) downstream of the upstream conveyor (41) in the conveyance direction (X), wherein the transport device further comprises a transition part (5) in the conveyance direction (X) between the upstream conveyor (41) and the downstream conveyor (42) and extending in a transverse direction (Y) perpendicular or substantially perpendicular to the conveyance direction (X), wherein the transition part (5) has a width (W) in the conveyance direction (X) that is smaller than five centimeters.
Abstract:
Ein Verfahren zur Qualitätskontrolle von stetig geförderten Stückgütern (2), wobei benachbarte Stückgüter (2) abständig zueinander vereinzelt und jeweils durch eine Kontrolleinrichtung außenseitig kontrolliert werden, ist so ausgebildet, dass vorder außenseitigen Kontrollemindestens einmalder Abstand zwischen zwei Stückgütern (2) ermittelt, mit dem Maß eines vorgegebenen Mindestabstands verglichen und bei festgestelltem Unterschreiten des Mindestabstands das in Durchlaufrichtung nachfolgende Stückgut (2) abgebremst oder beschleunigt wird.
