Abstract
A conveying system for transporting a food product from an oven to a loading or packaging machine includes a transport conveyor system that has an input conveying belt and an output conveying belt that is parallel, driven at different speeds, and operatively mounted to a frame for transporting a food product. A plurality of displacement members are secured to the frame and positioned adjacent the input conveying belt. A sensor is located adjacent to a first end of the frame and adjacent to the input conveyor. Connected to the drives, the displacement members, and the sensor is a controller. The controller activates a selected displacement member based upon a sensed position of the food product as compared to a determined theoretical position of the food product to move the food product from the input belt to the output belt. The geometry of the belts on the transport conveyor allow the food product to self-center on the belt after the transfer. Positioned adjacent to an output conveying belt is a transport device for transporting food product from the output conveying belt to a discharge conveyor.
