ABSTRACT:
Material handling equipment includes an in-feed conveyor having a sweep arm for traversing across the in-feed conveyor to thus sweep off the conveyor units of material disposed thereon. The sweep arm includes a brush, having bristles extending downwardly into spaces between the carrying elements of the conveyor, whereby thin-section materials on the conveyor are engaged by the bristles and swept off the conveyor. The sweep arm can optionally also sweep the materials onto and across the in-feed station of a palletizer positioned adjacent the in-feed conveyor. The in-feed station can have channels in its upper surface, extending in the direction of sweep of the sweep arm. For reaching into the spaces on the in-feed conveyor, and into channels on the in-feed station of the palletizer, no indexing is required between the spaces on the conveyor and the channels on the in-feed station; nor is any indexing required between the push arm and either the spaces on the in-feed conveyor or the channels on the in-feed station of the palletizer.
