Abstract:
A singulator apparatus and system for use with a product conveying and/or sorting system to place products in a single layer line of such products that are also separated from each other so the products may be more effectively and efficiently sized, inspected, sorted or otherwise processed in the processing area of the conveying and/or sorting system. The singulator apparatus has at least one pair, preferably a plurality, of adjacent cylindrical assemblies that are linearly aligned to be parallel with each other and define a valley between the adjacent cylindrical assemblies. Jumbled products are directed to the valleys from a product transfer area that receives the products. The cylindrical assemblies each have a cylindrical member and a shaft, with the shaft connected to a rotating mechanism that rotates the cylindrical assemblies to singulate and separate the products as they move along the valley between cylindrical assemblies.

Claim (Index 19):
The system of  claim 18  further comprising a bearing assembly associated with at least one of a first end and a second end of each of said cylindrical assemblies, each of said bearing assemblies configured to allow each of said cylindrical assemblies to rotate.
