ABSTRACT:
The invention concerns a system to fill the cases in a uniform manner with fruit and vegetables, that is to say a mechanical device, which sees to the levelled filling of cases by means of, for instance, apples, citrus fruits, artichokes and other similar products in the course of the working of same in the fruit and vegetable factories; the system consists of an entrance conveyor (5) of the cases (2) co-ordinated with the rotating platform (1) of the filling station and with the exit conveyor (8) arranged on frames based on the floor; of a feeding conveyor (11') equipped with a belt (13) with a diaphragm angularly movable (25) in order to have the product (12) flow into the circuit (C) involving the belt itself and the near parallel one (13), when the feeding has to be interrupted: the feeding conveyor (11') is mounted on a frame (14) with an elevated level and in perpendicular direction compared with that of the entrance and exit conveyors (5, 8) in correspondence of the rotating platform (1); above the latter at the end of the feeding belt (1') and in correspondence with it the distributing machine (27) is installed in a vertically movable and guided manner, equipped with a vertical belt (30), from which project the rubber blades (29), inclined towards the top in the descending part in order to receive the product (12) from the feeding belt (13) and to transfer it to the distributing belt (41), inclined towards the front and towards the bottom, followed by a chute (45); in the plan the distributing machine (27) appears to be shifted compared with the axis (A) of rotation of the platform (11) and is equipped with an excentric rotating brush (33) in order to have the product, which would tend to form a ring-shaped rise like a bun, roll towards said axis.
