Patent number: 11445733Abstract: Described herein are conveyor systems and application units which can be used to transport and simultaneously treat, or to facilitate treatment and inspection of produce, agricultural products, or other items. The conveyor systems and application units can be configured to allow products to be simultaneously rotated as they are moved along a packing line, which can facilitate the uniform application of spray coatings and/or allow the products to be uniformly blow dried while they are moved. Exemplary conveyor systems and application units can include a bed formed of a plurality of rollers and a rotation inducing device that causes the rollers to rotate while they are laterally transported, thereby causing the products lying on top of the bed to rotate during transport.Type: GrantFiled: July 31, 2018Date of Patent: September 20, 2022Assignee: Apeel Technology, Inc.Inventors: Chance Holland, Claire Patterson, Louis Van Blarigan, Edwin William Spurling, Matthew Taylor Aronson, Matthew Dominick Gaudioso
