ABSTRACT:
A machine for effecting an orientation of carrots or other elongate, tapered vegetables placed thereon, comprising a vibratory table of elongate configuration whose upper surface is principally constituted by a plurality of generally parallel members. These members are spaced along the longitudinal centerline of the table, with the spacing between members increasing incrementally such that the minimum spacing between members exists at one end of the table, and the maximum spacing exists at the other end. Alignment means are utilized such that elongate vegetables cuased to be individually aligned with the longitudinal axis of the table can travel for a substantial portion of the length of the table, bridging at least some of the spaces between members. Vibration producing means are connected to the vibratory table for inducing sufficient vibration into the spaced members as to cause the elongate vegetables to travel toward the other end of the table until such time as each vegetable has reached a space between two members that it is unable to bridge, at which time it falls crown end first between such pair of members. My machine may be effectively utilized in connection with the sorting of vegetables to length, but it is more typically utilized with a topping device for effectively removing the crown end from each of the elongate vegetables.
