ABSTRACT:
Herein is disclosed a feeding arrangement for high-speed multi-channel sensing and counting apparatus utilized in processing randomly-flowing discreet solid particular objects such as pharmaceutical tablets. An inclined vibrating feeder-tray is provided having a receiving and spreading region and a multi-channel sorting region. Each channel of the latter is provided with an exit port at the extreme end thereof for passage of the objects from the tray to an associated channel of a sensing apparatus. Associated with each channel of the feeder-tray is a wedge-like directing means having at least four unique inclined plane surfaces for operating on the objects incoming to the channel, which directing means enables each object to become oriented in the preferred erect orientation of rolling on its cylindrical surface, regardless of the initial orientation thereof upon entering the channel. Additional means are provided for adapting the feeder-tray to various different ranges of sizes of the objects.
