ABSTRACT:
A feedscrew system includes a support structure for rotatably supporting a selected feedscrew assembly adjacent a conveyor in order to control articles moving on the conveyor toward a processing station, mounting components for mounting the selected feedscrew assembly on the support structure, and drive components for driving the selected feedscrew assembly at a desired rotational speed. A plurality of interchangeable feedscrew assemblies is included, including at least a first feedscrew assembly configured to be driven at a first rotational speed and a second feedscrew assembly configured to be driven at a second rotational speed that is different from the first rotational speed. The first feedscrew assembly includes a first feedscrew and a first coupling component connected to the first feedscrew for coupling the first feedscrew assembly to the drive components so that the first feedscrew assembly rotates at the first rotational speed. The second feedscrew assembly includes a second feedscrew and a second coupling component connected to the second feedscrew for coupling the second feedscrew assembly to the drive components so that the second feedscrew assembly rotates at the second rotational speed.
