ABSTRACT:
The invention relates to an endless conveyor following a convex contour for use in cooperation with a discharge/feed conveyor. The endless conveyor comprises a number of article holders, such as grippers, for receiving therein discrete articles, such as fruit or eggs. The endless conveyor includes a first conveyor part, which moves continuously in operation, and a second conveyor part, which moves intermittently in operation. The first conveyor part, at a first conveyor part end thereof, is bounded by a return wheel having a stationary rotary shaft. The return wheel is also rotatably drivable for driving the endless conveyor. The first conveyor is positioned to move substantially tangential to the direction of movement of the discharge conveyor, which is also continuously movable, such that the difference in speed between the discharge/feed conveyor and the first conveyor part is substantially zero.
