The system () includes a product engager (), a transporter () and a patterned depositor () for engaging products () and transporting the products () from the product engager () to the patterned depositor (), such as between a product bagging machine () that forms and fills a bag (), a conveyor that transports the bags as the products () and delivers them to a case packing machine as the patterned depositor (). The product engager () and the patterned depositor () include first and second drivers () and the transporter () includes an adjustable-length buffer () to compensate for any temporary difference between a first product delivery rate of the product engager () and a rate of movement of the products () passing from the product engager () along the transporter () to the patterned depositor ().

The folding side-wall container () provides for efficient loading and unloading of the containers appropriate for retail re-supply of goods (). Use of the containers as a distribution container () and a wholesale goods container () within an automated system () for automated transfer by a robotic picker () of goods () from the wholesale container () to the distribution container () minimizes labor costs in distribution of the goods (). The container () includes a folding wall () that is releasably secured in a closed position by a top lid () having an engagement lip () that secures a top edge () of the folding side or front wall (). Opening the top lid () and then folding down the front wall () permits efficient loading and unloading of the container ().

An improved cleaning basin (including cover and stand) for commercial grill, oven and stove ventilation filters. The device allows convenient soaking and cleaning of the filters in cleaning solution, and provides for safe and efficient drainage of the solution. The device is specially sized to facilitate simultaneous cleaning and soaking of multiple filters in caustic cleaning solution, and it provides for safe and efficient filling and drainage of the solution from the basin. The device is rugged, durable, weather-proof, and it can be manufactured at nominal cost.

An improved extended mounting bracket for a french fry press. The mounting bracket generally comprises a back plate with two opposing protruding side brackets. The side brackets are integrally attached along the opposing edges of the back plate by welding or the like. Both side brackets are formed with upper and lower notches adapted to slidably receive and anchor a conventional french fry press. The extended mounting bracket extends the french fry press over a proper waste receptacle such as a sink and thereby facilitates efficient waste disposal and cleanup. The bracket is rugged, durable, and it can be manufactured at nominal cost.
