Construction Cup conveyor:
The cup conveyor drive shaft drives 2 transport
chains (60) on both sides of the packer,
transporting shafts (61) with cups (55). On the
top- and bottom side the transport chains are
guided. The cups are able to slide on the
shafts. At the transfer position, the cups are on
the same positions as the rollers of the roller
track. During the movement of the cups
towards the transfer lever, the cups are guided
towards the center of the conveyor. At transfer
lever position, the cups are exactly in the
center. At the bottom of the packer, rows of
cups slide into guides (62) that separates them
and guide them to the correct position for
receiving eggs at the transfer position.
A transmitter receiver sensor (63) detects eggs
in the cups at the transfer lever position and
stops the conveyor.
Construction Transfer lever:
A frequency-controlled motor (70) situated
above the packer is directly mounted on a
short shaft (71). On one side of the motor the
shaft is connected to a rotary encoder (72) via
a flexible coupling (73). The other side of the
shaft is connected to the tip of a beam (74). At
the other tip of the beam a shaft is connected
to the vacuum head holder (75) that carries the
vacuum head. Inside the beam both shafts are
connected with each other by a chain and
sprockets (76). This keeps the vacuum head
holder horizontal during the movement of the
beam.
