  • Publication number: 20240083607
    Abstract: An apparatus comprising a conveyor with a conveyor belt and a series of stacking towers spaced along the length of the conveyor belt and secured to the conveyor belt. Each of the stacking towers has a chamber adapted for receiving fragile goods. A drive gear is coupled to the conveyor belt for advancing the stacking tower with goods in the chamber to a baler, which is configured to place a mouth of one of the plurality of empty packages over the stacking tower with goods in the chamber. The conveyor is configured so that further advancement of the conveyor belt by the drive gear causes the stacking tower to tilt so that the goods slide into the package and the package slides off the stacking tower, in each case under the force of gravity. Method for packaging fragile goods using stacking towers is provided.

  • Patent number: 10368550
    Abstract: A roller system laminates products in different shapes of any type of mass and/or combination thereof, for obtaining different rolled tri-dimensional shapes, to be later baked and/or fried. A roller system comprises a horizontal conveyor belt, set on the upper part of a main support structure, which receives laminated products and conveys them in a first direction at a first velocity towards a start roller belt; said start roller belt which is perpendicular to the horizontal conveyor belt, is set over a second mobile support structure, to begin the rolling of the laminated products at a second velocity and in a second direction, said start roller belt transports the laminated products with the rolling having started towards a rolling belt; the rolling belt on an inclined plane under the horizontal conveyor belt.
