Abstract:
A hygienic magnetic tray and conveyor. The low-profile tray includes a forcer sandwiched between an article-supporting top and an opposite bottom. The top is made of hygienic material, and the bottom can be made of a low-friction material. The tray is propelled along a guide surface on an enclosure housing stator coils supported in a conveyor frame. The stator forms a linear motor with the forcer in the tray. Various disposal systems provide escape routes for removing fluids and debris from the guide surface of the stator enclosure.

Claim (Index 32):
A tray conveyor as in  claim 21  wherein:\n the conveyor frame includes:\n a first section; \n a second section perpendicular to the first section; and \n a junction section joining the first section in series with the second section wherein the linear-motor stator in the junction section has a first linear-motor stator in line with the linear-motor stator in the first section and a second linear-motor stator in line with the linear-motor stator in the second section and perpendicular to the first stator; \n \n wherein the forcer includes a first magnet array and a second magnet array perpendicular to the first magnet array arranged so that, when the tray is in the junction section, the first magnet array is aligned with the first stator or the second magnet array is aligned with the second stator so that the tray is driven by the first stator and then by the second stator to translate from the first section to the second section in the junction section without rotation.
