AI Technical Summary
Technical Problem
Conventional fruit and vegetable conveyance and unloading systems struggle with handling fragments and oblong products with heterogeneous shapes and dimensions, leading to operational inefficiencies and hygiene issues due to clogging and damage to components.
Method used
An assembly with axially symmetrical supporting elements and pressure-driven nozzles that intercept and redirect fragments and oblong products using upward and lateral jets, ensuring reliable unloading and preventing downstream disruption.
Benefits of technology
Effectively handles fragments and oblong products, maintaining operational reliability and hygiene standards by ensuring all products are correctly unloaded, even with high variability in dimensions and shapes.

Abstract
An assembly for transporting and unloading fruit and vegetable products, comprising: - means for the cyclical movement along a predefined forward path (B) of at least a series of axially symmetrical support elements (2) for fruit and vegetable products (A), which are arranged in alignment along the path (B) with the longitudinal axis of symmetry (C) transverse to the path (B); at least some pairs of consecutive elements (2) are configured to define respective seats (3) for corresponding products (A), which may be arranged substantially above the respective spaces (4) between corresponding consecutive elements (2), resting along the lateral surfaces thereof, - at least one station (5) for unloading the products (A) in transit, comprising at least one primary dispenser (6) of pressurized fluid, equipped with at least one first nozzle (7).The first nozzle (7) is arranged at a vertical elevation that is lower than the vertical elevation of a predefined discharge point (E) of the path (B) and is configured to direct a first jet (D) of the fluid substantially towards the discharge point (E).
