  • Patent number: 9056725
    Abstract: A static resistant transport mechanism is configured as a set of slats where each slat is manufactured from a static-dissipative or static-resistive material to minimize or eliminate the build-up of an electrical or static charge in the product conveying system. With such a configuration, the static-resistant transport mechanism minimizes the likelihood of product either failing to enter a slat cavity from a hopper, prematurely exiting a slat cavity prior to dispenzation into a container at a dispensing location, or failing to exit a slat cavity and enter the container at the dispensing location. Accordingly, because the product conveying system can deliver product to containers for an extended period of time with a relatively low rate of error, the static resistant transport mechanism minimizes down time associated with the product conveying system.
