Abstract:
Method and system ( 10 ) for transporting products ( 2 ). A conveyor surface ( 1 ) is moving at a conveyor velocity (VI). Products ( 2 ) are provided on the conveyor surface ( 1 ) in a measurement zone (M). The products ( 2 ) move through the measurement zone (M) with a product velocity (V 2 ) that is at least initially different than the conveyor velocity (VI). A contact between the products ( 2 ) and the relatively moving conveyor surface ( 1 ) causes the products ( 2 ) to accelerate or decelerate (a) in the measurement zone (M) depending on a kinetic friction coefficient (μk) there between. A control signal (S) is indicative of the acceleration or deceleration (a) of the products ( 2 ) in the measurement zone (M). The kinetic friction coefficient (μk) is controlled based on the control signal (S) to keep the acceleration or deceleration (a) within a predetermined threshold range.

Claim (Index 21):
The method according to  claim 16 , wherein the kinetic friction coefficient is controlled by applying a controlled amount of lubricant to the conveyor surface and/or the products.
