Abstract: The present invention relates to an apparatus for sorting elongate produce comprising a drum constituted by longitudinal grids, stationary and movable bars of which are mounted transversally to the longitudinal axis of the drum, the movable bars of each grid being kept in a fixed position one with respect to the other at constant and identical distances through a frame which is able to be moved relative to the stationary bars in a direction parallel to the longitudinal axis of the drum.

Abstract: A system for automatically filling cans with elongated products, comprising a chamber for filling an empty can and located above the can in a stationary filling position and a device for projecting successive groups of parallel elongated products through a side opening of the chamber as the filling chamber is moving downwards, the invention being in particular applicable to the filling of cans with French beans or carrots.

Abstract: The present invention concerns a method and a device for the treatment of an elongated agricultural produce, such as vegetables, this device comprising an inner drum coaxial with the treatment drum and rotatably solid with the latter, the inner drum being provided with at least one strip which is wound in an helicoidal manner around its axis like at least one screw thread and with radial walls extending in a parallel direction to the longitudinal axis of the drum while being angularly spaced from one another so as to delimit, with the turns of the helicoidal strip, compartments for receiving and transporting the treated produce.
