Embodiment Construction

[0094] figure 1 is a schematic top view of a conveyor system 1 according to the invention. The conveyor system is provided with a guide rail 5 , a plurality of trolleys and a plurality of tray carriers 7 along an endless conveyor track 6 .

[0095] A number of trolleys are movably connected to the rail. The trolleys are connected to each other by one or more chain elements (eg chain links, a cable, etc.). In an alternative embodiment, the carriers are not coupled to each other when eg the carriers are temporarily brought into a buffer or similar where the mutual distance can be changed.

[0096] The tray carriers 7 are each suspended from the rails 5 by one or more trolleys. The conveyor system is provided with drive means 9 for displacing the chain of tray carriers 7 along the conveyor track 6 in the conveying direction 10 . The conveyor system is activated by a control system 11 .

[0097] figure 1 The conveyor system 1 described in is configured for conveying various ...

Abstract

The invention relates to conveyor system (1) for conveying packaging trays (2), for food products for example, from one or more import stations (3) to one or more export stations (4). The conveyor system is provided with an endless conveyor track comprising a rail (5), a multiplicity of trolleys which are movably connected to the rail (5), and a multiplicity of tray carriers (7) which are each coupled to the rail (5) via at least one trolley. Each tray carrier (7) is provided with a support member, preferably a support platform, configured for supporting at least one packaging tray. The use of a conveyor system (1) of this type for conveying packaging trays has the advantage over the use of a roll track, for example, that the system takes up relatively little floor space. Preferably, the import stations (3) and the export stations (4) are provided with an import device and export device respectively for feeding, in a position with a substantially horizontal orientation, the packaging trays into and out of the tray carriers. This allows open trays to be conveyed.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to the field of processing food products, in particular meat products, more particularly poultry such as chickens or parts thereof. Background technique [0002] For example, the meat processing industry uses products packed in packaging trays on a large scale. For example, in the poultry processing industry, poultry parts such as drumsticks, chicken fillets, but also hamburgers obtained from the process are placed in packaging trays. These packaging trays are then transferred to a machine that seals the packaging trays with a film. Thereafter, the sealed packaged trays are collected based on consumer orders from the poultry processing industry (often representing supermarket chains), and the packaged trays are then displayed in refrigerated display cases within the supermarket. Finally, the consumer purchases the product packaged in the packaging tray. [0003] The poultry processing industry often uses conveyor system...
