The invention relates to a transfer device for transferring products in an industrial processing line for the in-line processing of products, between a collecting surface and a transit zone running alongside the collecting surface, said transit zone comprising at least two longitudinal conveyors spaced away from a slider bed and each intended to transport a file of products, said device comprising said collecting surface, said transit zone, and a transfer tool transferring between the collecting surface and the transit zone, equipped with at least three longitudinal vertical walls, and intended to push, transversely, longitudinal rows of products which rows are each positioned between two walls. This device is wherein at least one wall of the transfer tool is mounted with the ability to move translationally on said tool in a transverse direction, for a movement of pushing said products. Other subjects of the invention are corresponding methods.

Transfer of products between a transit zone and a collecting surface

The invention relates to a method for transferring products to or from a collecting surface within a line for the continuous processing of said products, wherein a first transit zone is fed longitudinally with products by an entry conveyor; a second transit zone supplies products longitudinally to an exit conveyor; at least one column of products is transferred, by being pushed transversely, via a transfer tool provided with members disposed on either side of each column; wherein, at the moment of transfer, each column is gripped by said members being moved toward one another, a first member being fixed, while a second member is mounted in a movable manner. The invention also relates to a transfer device for implementing such a method.

Transfer of products in a gripped manner to or from an accumulation surface

The present invention relates to a method for transferring products () between a main conveyor () which is configured to convey products in a longitudinal direction and an accumulation surface () using an intermediate conveyor () and a pushing means (). The method comprises acceleration of the intermediate conveyor () and transfer of products () between the intermediate conveyor () and the main conveyor () via the action of the pushing means (), and deceleration of the intermediate conveyor () and transfer of products () between the intermediate conveyor () and the accumulation surface (). The present invention also relates to a device for transferring products () between a main conveyor () which is configured to convey products in a longitudinal direction and an accumulation surface (), enabling in particular the method according to the invention to be carried out.

Product transfer device

The present invention relates to a conveyor device, comprising a surface for receiving products that is longitudinally wound around drive means in the form of at least one first drive roller and around at least one return roller, characterized in that said receiving surface comprises a first independent section and a second independent section, said first section extending along a first part of the length of said surface, by winding around said first drive roller and around said return roller, said second section extending along a second part of the length of said surface, distinct from said first part, by winding around a second drive roller. The invention further relates to a dedicated method for conveying products, where the advancing speeds of the sections are controlled independently of each other.

Multiline transfer of product

The present invention relates to a method for transferring products from an accumulation surface to an outlet conveyor configured to convey products in a longitudinal direction using an intermediate conveyor arranged between, and flush with, said accumulation surface and said outlet conveyor, and a pushing device the method comprises decelerating the intermediate conveyor and transferring the products between the accumulation surface and the intermediate conveyor by said pushing device and accelerating the intermediate conveyor end transferring the products from the intermediate conveyor to the outlet conveyor. The present invention also relates to a device for transferring products from an accumulation surface to an outlet conveyor, in particular one that is capable of carrying out the method according to the invention.

Device for transferring products

Disclosed is a conveyor device for conveying along a conveyor plane, in order to transform a wide flow of products into a downstream single-file flow, including an intake conveyor, suitable for conveying the wide flow, an output conveyor suitable for conveying the single-file flow, an acceleration conveyor positioned between the intake conveyor and the outlet conveyor and including a plurality of conveyor units with a speed gradient, and also including a guide for guiding the products transversely from the intake conveyor to the outlet conveyor and positioned downstream from the flow of products so that the products are moved against same under the effect of the consecutive conveyors. Also disclosed is a corresponding method.

Compact alignment of a flow

The invention relates to a width-adjusting device for conveyor corridor(s), comprising a wide gear-reduction mechanism connected to the frame () of said conveyor, wherein said mechanism is arranged between the control shaft () and the wall(s) of said corridor. The device includes: a final drive capable of reverse operation and consisting of said control shaft () in the form of an endless screw and of a toothed wheel (); and a system for controlling at least one of the walls of said corridor, consisting of an endless screw () and a nut, the endless screw being mobile or fixed relative to said toothed wheel (). The shaft () of the final drive is a flexible shaft having a long length and engaging with the tension-retaining system () for absorbing the pulling and pushing forces in the rotation direction thereof.
