Abstract:
1. A web product sorting machine, comprising: a promiscuous conveyor unit adapted for delivering at least one web product including at least one tail waste and at least one head waste to be sorted; a selective conveyor unit disposed adjacent to said promiscuous conveyor unit and adapted for receiving said web product from said promiscuous conveyor unit, wherein a gap is defined between said promiscuous conveyor unit and said selective conveyor unit for enabling said at least one tail waste and head waste to fall therein; a screening unit disposed above said promiscuous conveyor unit for imparting a frictional resistive force in a direction opposite to a forward conveying progress of said web product, said screening unit including a damper portion extending therefrom to engage a portion of said tail waste and tip the engaged portion of said tail waste away from the progressing web product and thereby cause said tail waste to fall onto said promiscuous conveyor unit from a standing position; and, a feed unit defining a surface disposed above said promiscuous conveyor and operatively coupled thereto via a connection unit disposed therebetween, said connection unit defining a surface sloping downward from said feed unit to said promiscuous conveyor unit, said connection unit enabling said head waste to fall onto said promiscuous conveyor unit for sorting.
