Patent CA-2414959-A1 (CA)
Inventor: DORE MICHEL
IPC: A01J25/12
Filed: 2001-07-06
Abstract: The invention concerns a method and a novel equipment therefor, for filling cheese containers, such as boxes or kegs, inside a vacuum chamber so as to eliminate the need to remove air trapped in the interstices of the cheese content following the filling of containers. The invention is characterised in that it consists in: introducing the containers to be filled into a vacuum chamber; introducing the cheese in the vacuum chamber by means of a cyclone and/or a column via a cheese airlock; filling the container with the cheese thus introduced; weighing, compacting and pressing the cheese in the containers inside the vacuum chamber; removing the filled containers from the vacuum chamber, closing and storing them. Preferably, the containers to be filled are introduced into and removed from the vacuum chamber by means of a conveyor passing through an intake pre-chamber and an outlet pre-chamber acting as airlock so as to permanently maintain a vacuum in the chamber.

Inventor: BEHNKE MERLIN
IPC: B65H19/26
Filed: 2001-07-06
Abstract: A multiple output reel module includes a reel wheel (50) supporting a plurality of spindles (116). Mounted to each spindle is a reel (74). The ree l wheel is rotatable to position one of the spindle and reel combinations in a  loading position in which output media (16) from a nearby machine is interconnected to the reel. The spindle and reel are rotated to load the ree l with output media (16). A CPU monitors the status of the reel, and stops the  loading when the reel is full. The CPU then rotates the reel wheel to positi on a second spindle and reel combination in the loading position. The output media is automatically positioned over a portion of the second reel, and the  output media is automatically interconnected to the second reel with an over - center finger assembly (248). Then output media between the two reels is cut  and the second reel is loaded with output media.

Title: Defective sod rejector and deflector
Inventor: BROUWER GERARDUS J
IPC: A01G1/12
Filed: 2003-07-23
Abstract: A sod harvester having a conveyor assembly to receive sod from a cutting head, a roll-up mechanism to form rolls from the cut sod, and a storage conveyor to receive a set of formed sod rolls, with a clamp to clamp the set of sod rolls and transfer it to a pallet. A diverter between the conveyor assembly and the storage conveyor normally allows sod rolls to travel to the storage conveyor but can be moved to create a gap through which defective sod rolls fall and are thereby rejected. A deflector located below the gap deflects scrap sod and defective sod rolls onto the cut portion of the sod field, rather than onto the uncut portion, so that the scrap sod deflected onto the field will not interfere with the next pass of the cutting head.
