  • Patent number: 9475643
    Abstract: A roller system for sorting a produce or fruit, with a conveyor having an upper run and a lower run, a roller truck with two spindles and a roller wheel between. The roller truck is attached to side-by-side conveyors each with a string of the roller trucks operating in parallel and a roller drive belt contacting the roller wheel of the roller truck on the upper run, to spin the roller wheel and the roller pair. The side-by-side roller pairs of spindles have a spindle gap between each pair and a pocket is formed between each of roller pairs for receiving the produce, such as cherries, nuts or blueberries. As the roller drive belt rotates the roller wheel, the produce is rolled and repositioned in the pocket, exposing and presenting all surfaces of the produce to an optical scanner.
