Abstract: A metering assembly is provided for use with an air seeding system for delivering one or more particulate materials to an air seeding apparatus, the air seeding system comprising a product tank, configured to hold a particulate material and having an outlet, the metering assembly comprising at least one metering device, the metering device having a housing, an inlet positioned in the housing to receive particulate material from the outlet of the product tank, a first loading zone and a second loading zone, and a flow controller provided beneath the inlet and operative to route particulate material that has entered the metering device through the inlet in a first direction towards the first loading zone and in a second direction towards the second loading zone.

Abstract: A panel-carrying-out apparatus used for conveying panels ejected from a press machine includes: a semicircular sorting conveyor adapted to be driven switchably in a normal direction or a reverse direction; and a pair of straight conveyors respectively disposed at ends of the sorting conveyor. Each of the panels from the press machine is mounted on the center position of the sorting conveyor in terms of a conveying path. Specifically, an arced conveyor included in the sorting conveyor, on which each of the panels is initially mounted, is adapted to be driven switchably in the normal direction or the reverse direction.

Abstract: Disclosed is a method and an apparatus for removing by-product chips, in existing CNC machining center. The apparatus is using parasite driven rotating carousel, capable of moving chips away from the drain of an existing machine. There is a possibility of installing powered feed device with its own controller in case the machine is not equipped with the auger. The method of removing chips is based on shape of the apparatus and the parasite drive, which uses existing machine auger. This auger is normally used to remove chips from the machine into an external collection unit. The apparatus allows operating the machine without interruption, otherwise when such apparatus is not used, chips clog drain holes forcing the machine operator to stop the machine for periodic drain cleaning. The auger itself does not protect the drain from being clogged. The drain cleaning apparatus can be used in the machines of different size.
