ABSTRACT:
An alignment apparatus is disclosed for aligning weighed batches of elongated objects, such as French-fried potato strips. The batch of objects is weighed in a scale and discharged onto a moving conveyor belt which separates the objects and projects such objects from the conveyor into a vibrated alignment container. The objects impact a vertically-curved rear deflector wall of the alignment container in a direction substantially perpendicular thereto and may fall into contact with a straight front deflector wall so that they are aligned substantially parallel to such rear wall when they are discharged from such container. The objects fall freely by gravity through a drop tube from such alignment container for further separation and alignment into a packaging machine which packages the weighed batch of aligned objects.
