Patent number: 10362799Abstract: A device comprises a fruit reception compartment, a fruit suction area, a liquid suction area comprising an orifice, and a narrowing which feeds into a channel, with a water flow between the narrowing and the channel, and the channel defining part of a pipe configured to carry impelled liquid inside the channel. A method comprises supplying a mixture of fruits in bunches and liquid, moving the mixture to a fruit suction area through a suction entrance, aspirating and injecting liquid through the channel, generating a depression which drags the mixture towards the narrowing, and generating turbulence which separates stalks from the fruit and extracts the separated fruit.Type: GrantFiled: March 9, 2016Date of Patent: July 30, 2019Assignee: RODA IBERICA, S.L.Inventor: Christophe Blanc

Patent number: 9174245Abstract: The invention relates to system conceived and designed to identify pieces of fruit, especially citrus fruits, affected by any amount of rot and to determine the automatic expulsion of these pieces from the conveyor moving them through the installation. The system comprises illuminating the fruits with UV-A band light in a computer vision unit, and capturing images of the illuminated fruits by means of a camera to send them to a general control member in order to detect fluorescences associated to the rot effect. The identified fruit is automatically expelled from the conveyor in an expulsion unit, the position of the defective fruit being determined with the aid of an encoder associated to the conveyor. The general control member is a PC type computer, equipped with specific application software.Type: GrantFiled: February 26, 2008Date of Patent: November 3, 2015Assignee: RODA IBERICA, S.L.U.Inventors: Philippe Gabriel Rene Blanc, Jose Blasco Ivars, Enrique Molto Garcia, Juan Gomez Sanchis, Sergio Cubero Garcia

Patent number: 5480090Abstract: A wrapping to be used as packaging (6) has a flat backing part (1A) and another shaped flat part (1B). A window (4) can be made in the flat backing part (1A). These two parts (1A, 1B) are formed from a single piece which has been punched out and folded from a flat sheet (1) of packaging material. The use of cardboard is preferred since it is possible to use recycled paper material without detracting from the aesthetic appearance of the package.Type: GrantFiled: August 8, 1994Date of Patent: January 2, 1996Assignee: Fratelli Roda S.A.Inventors: Renzo Taddei, Franco Roda

Patent number: 5101982Abstract: The conveying and off-loading apparatus, used in machines for the automatic selection and distribution of products, comprises a conveyor for transporting individual products from examination stations to discharge stations along a path, including an elongate flexible closed-loop belt and a plurality of rollers distributed on the conveyor. The rollers have axes extending transversely to the longitudinal extension of the conveyor, and adjacent rollers define between one another elongated holders for individual products. Forks rotatably support the rollers on the chain and are adapted to allow small vertical oscillations of the rollers, as the weight of the product and its holder is lifted from the chain and transferred to a level section of the ramp associated with a weighing device at an examination station. The forks are mounted along the chain and oscillate about an axis parallel to the path. The rollers are selectively tiltable for off-loading a product from the conveyor at one of the discharge stations.Type: GrantFiled: December 21, 1987Date of Patent: April 7, 1992Assignee: Decco Roda S.p.A.Inventor: Luciano Gentili

Patent number: 4749327Abstract: The machine comprises a tower, driven horizontally along two rails, on either side whereof loading and unloading stations are located. The tower carries pairs of guides, adapted for supporting lateral side members, movable in vertical and horizontal directions with respect to the tower. The lateral side members have at their bottom ends supporting members adapted for supporting the bin bases. The movable members of the machine being operatively linked to sensors effective to sense the presence of bins at the stations and to a selector unit for selecting the loading and unloading stations.Type: GrantFiled: March 24, 1986Date of Patent: June 7, 1988Assignee: Decco-Roda S.p.A.Inventor: Cesare Roda

Patent number: 4033241Abstract: A machine for the manufacture of tubes of cardboard or like sheet material that have a length substantially greater than their width, comprises a core about which the sheet is bent to the desired shape of the tube. Sheets are advanced one by one into registry with the core, and then are bent in concave molds that are hinged together and that swing one by one to bend first one half and then the other of the sheet about the core, after which the seam is sealed. An extractor for the tube is provided, in the form of rods that are slidably located in complementary grooves in the core and that have protruding wings which, when moving from retracted to extended position, contact diametrically opposite edge portions of the formed tube to strip the tube from the core.Type: GrantFiled: March 17, 1975Date of Patent: July 5, 1977Assignee: Roda Macchine S.A.Inventor: Emilio Roda
