Patent ID: 6907981

Claim:
A conveyer assembly used in a fill station of an automated produce packaging system for packaging produce into containers, the conveyer assembly comprising: a frame, a first conveyer pulley and a second conveyer pulley each supported by the frame and horizontally spaced from each other, a conveyer belt trained about the first pulley and the second pulley to form a top conveyer run upon which the containers travel in close side-by-side succession, drive means for propelling said conveyer belt about the first conveyer pulley and the second conveyer pulley, a roller supported by the frame between the first conveyer pulley and the second conveyer pulley, the roller contacts the conveyer belts so that the top conveyer run has an incline between the first pulley and the roller, the roller constituting means for isolating vibrations imparted to the conveyer belt over the top conveyer run between the first conveyer pulley and the roller, and vibration means mounted to the frame between the roller and the second conveyer pulley for imparting vibration to the conveyer belt to level produce deposited into a container from the hopper.
