  • System for sorting pickle chips and the like
    Patent number: 5154298
    Abstract: A system for mechanically sorting pickle chips with holes from those without holes. Pickle chips with holes are hooked on rotating hooks, separated out, gravity dropped off the hooks and conveyed to a location where they are processed into relish. The hooks face in direction opposite to their rotation and away from the chip infeed direction. The pickle chips without holes (the good chips) are accordingly not hooked and are sent to another location where they are packaged as pickle chips.
