ABSTRACT:
An apparatus is provided for transferring products, in particular eggs, comprising at least one height, at least one row of conveying units positioned under an endless sorting conveyor, wherein the products are discharged in a well-defined manner from the sorting conveyor into the conveying units, are received by the conveying units, and are subsequently delivered to a packaging device thereunder. Each conveying unit consists of at least two parts which can move relative to each other, in particular away from each other and back again, from a receiving position for taking up such a product to a discharge position for delivering the product downwardly therefrom. The at least one row is included in a frame and is arranged on one carrier, while the carrier with the row is exchangeable and interlockable, and the carrier is provided with an interlock at the ends of the row. The interlock consists of two fitting connection halves, of which one on the carrier and the other on the frame, and a fit retainer.Advantageously, this arrangement enables quick and reliable exchange and replacement of such units in large sorting machines.
