Latest Patents

Rudolf’s listed patents address product-flow division and buffering.

“Handling device and method for dividing a main product flow, in particular into at least two product partial flows” describes a system that divides a main product stream using a conveyor and a movable division conveyor belt. The division belt travels substantially perpendicular to the main conveying direction, enabling the stream to be separated into partial flows.

“Handling device and method for buffering products, in particular foods” describes a transport system that uses a transverse conveyor belt to influence product arrangement. A control or regulation unit adjusts a drive parameter of the transverse conveyor, while the belt is inclined relative to the transport unit’s main conveying plane.
