Abstract: A sorting apparatus is described, and which includes a conveyor which transports a produce stream for inspection. A product separation surface is mounted near the distal end of the conveyor, and the produce stream passes over the product separation surface, and is slowed to a speed such that the produce stream falls substantially immediately vertically downwardly. An inspection zone is located downstream relative to the product separation surface. An imaging device is provided, and which images the produce stream passing through the inspection zone; an illumination device is provided for illuminating the produce stream passing through the inspection zone, and an ejector assembly is located downstream of the inspection zone and which removes unwanted solid material in the produce stream having undesirable characteristics.

Abstract: A sorting apparatus is described, and which includes a conveyor which transports a produce stream for inspection. The conveyor has various regions formed in part of ridges, troughs and apertures which reduce the weight of the produce stream, as well as reduces the vertical and horizontal components of motion of the produce stream, as the produce stream progresses from one end to the other. A product separation surface is mounted hear the distal end of the conveyor, and the produce stream passes over the product separation surface, and is slowed to a speed such that the produce stream falls substantially immediately vertically downwardly..

Abstract: A sorting apparatus for produce that includes surface features on a conveyor that cause a produce stream on that surface to form a single layer, these features also reduce the horizontal velocity of individual produce within that produce stream as it passes along that surface. This separation and horizontal velocity reduction discharges the produce from the conveyor with minimal horizontal velocity. As the produce is discharged substantially vertically from the discharge end of the conveyor the horizontal length of the sorting apparatus is reduced. Additional features can be included to allow the separation of any liquid component of the produce stream or allow removal of unwanted material. In one configuration the sorting apparatus includes a vibratory conveyor having a conveying surface which has a first, proximal receiving end, and a second, distal discharge end, and which supports individual produce forming a produce stream for movement between the first, receiving end, and the second, discharge end where the conveying surface further comprises a first region, a second region, a third region and a fourth region such that: - the first region is located adjacent to the first, receiving end and is defined by a multiplicity of substantially parallel, spaced, ridges and troughs, - the second region is located adjacent to the first region and is defined by a multiplicity of elongated converging and diverging apertures, each having a predetermined dimension, - the third region is defined by a multiplicity of elongated substantially transverse apertures, each having a predetermined dimension, and which are located adjacent to the second region which further includes elongated converging and diverging apertures, and - the fourth region is defined by a multiplicity of transverse slots, each having a predetermined dimension, which are located downstream of the elongated substantially transverse apertures and upstream relative to the second, discharge, end, and wherein, when the sorting apparatus is in use, the produce stream is delivered to the first, receiving end, and is thereafter distributed across the conveying surface as vibratory motion is imparted by the vibratory conveyor to the conveying surface which causes the produce forming the produce stream to move along the conveying surface at a given speed and to form a single, uniform layer of produce, which are separated from each other, and wherein the vibratory motion imparted by the vibratory conveyor causes produce stream which is delivered to the first, receiving end, to have both a vertical and horizontal component of motion, and wherein the vertical and horizontal components of motion of the produce diminishes as the produce stream moves along the conveying surface such that the produce stream falls substantially, uniformly, immediately, vertically, downwardly from the second, discharge end of the conveying surface of the vibratory conveyor.

Abstract: Se describe un aparato clasificador, y que incluye una superficie transportadora que transporta un flujo de productos agrícolas para inspección. La superficie transportadora tiene diversas regiones formadas en parte de protuberancias, depresiones y aberturas que reducen el peso del flujo de productos agrícolas, así como reduce los componentes de movimiento horizontal y vertical del flujo de productos agrícolas a medida que el flujo de productos agrícolas progresa de un extremo a otro. Una superficie de separación de producto está montada cerca del extremo distal de la superficie transportadora, y el flujo de productos agrícolas pasa sobre la superficie de separación de producto, y es alentado de manera que el flujo de productos agrícolas cae hacia abajo sustancialmente vertical de inmediato. Una zona de inspección se localiza descendente con relación a la superficie de separación de producto. Un dispositivo de formación de imágenes se proporciona, y el cual forma imágenes del flujo de productos agrícolas que pasa a través de la zona de inspección; se proporciona un dispositivo de iluminación para iluminar el flujo de productos agrícolas que pasa a través de la zona de inspección, y un montaje de expulsión que se localiza descendente de la zona de inspección y que retira el material sólido no deseado en el flujo de productos agrícolas que tiene características indeseables.

Abstract: A sorting apparatus (10) for a produce stream (11), such as berries, is disclosed. A product separation surface (120) is mounted near the distal end of a conveyor (104). The produce stream (11) is slowed by the separation surface (120) so the produce stream falls vertically downward in a single layer. An inspection zone (see Fig. 2) with an imaging device is located downstream from the product separation surface and an ejector assembly is located downstream of the inspection zone to remove unwanted solid material in the produce stream (11). The side of the separation surface (120) closest to the conveyor forms a channel (121) to collect a desired liquid from the product stream.
