ABSTRACT:
A loading/unloading conveyor system used for transfer of onions into onion crates and the subsequent handling of onion crates. The system comprises a multiple collection scoop for transfer of onions from the field to conveyors, an unloading head which fills the onion crates and cushions the onions as they enter the empty crates, a hoist from which empty crates are continuously supplied, a conveyor for holding empty crates, a hoist for stacking full crates, and a conveyor for holding full crates. Empty crates are constantly supplied to the empty crate conveyor as they enter the system. The empty crate conveyor in turn supplies the empty crate hoist which controls the release of a single crate into the system at a time. The individual empty crates are led by conveyor to the unloading head wherein they are filled with onions without bruising. The full onion crates then progress to the stacking hoist which stacks full onion crates two high. Stacked crates are then advanced to a holding conveyor to await transportation by forklift to a designated storage area.
