Apparatus () for handling articles (), including an endless infeed drive member () moving in an infeed direction (ID); an endless outfeed drive member () moving in a second, outfeed direction (OD); and an endless carrier conveyor () having. The carrier conveyor includes an infeed section () overlying the infeed drive member (), whereby the infeed drive member () drives the infeed section () in the infeed direction (ID); an outfeed section () overlying the outfeed drive member (), whereby the outfeed drive member () drives the outfeed section () in the outfeed direction (OD); and an arcuate intermediate section () bridging the infeed section () and the outfeed section () along a transfer path () between a diverting point (DIV) where the carrier conveyor () disconnects from the infeed drive member (), and an inverting point (INV) where the carrier conveyor () connects the outfeed drive member ().

A buffer assembly is configured to buffer a stream of articles moving along a conveyor. The buffer assembly is interposed in said conveyor. The buffer assembly comprises a horizontal in-feed accumulator that is configured to receive the stream of articles from said conveyor, and a horizontal mass storage accumulator connected to an output of the horizontal in-feed accumulator for receiving said stream of articles therefrom. Each of the horizontal in-feed accumulator and the horizontal mass storage accumulator are configured to buffer said stream of articles. The buffer assembly also comprises a horizontal out-feed accumulator connected to the output of the horizontal mass storage accumulator that is configured to buffer the stream of articles. The in-feed buffering the articles prevents product compression and the buffering of the out-feed articles prevents the formation of gaps between product articles.

A conveyor apparatus of the type in which an object is transported on a conveyor belt and in which the conveyor belt slidingly engages a guide member, the guide member having a plurality of nodules extending therefrom so as to form a plurality of channels and define a low friction contact surface for reducing drag between the conveyor belt and the contact surface when the conveyor belt is set in motion. The low friction contact surface of the guide member also is slidingly engagable with the object when the guide member is used as a side rail.

Surge control apparatus and corresponding method are particularly adapted for the safe handling of highly crushable and/or tearable products, such as paper-based box type aseptic packages. A flow of products along a conveyor exiting an accumulator is held until previously released products have progressed a predetermined distance down the conveyor towards a subsequent workstation, such as a packer. If a product queue occurs within the accumulator, the upstream flow of packages is halted, and the queued products are shifted relatively slightly downstream against a movable locator mechanism. Such stopping and shifting isolates from production line pressures the packages to be removed from the conveyor. Through such isolation. adjacent package shear points are prevented as a vertically-oriented conveyor mechanism is used for removal and subsequent return of packages relative the conveyor.

A conveyor apparatus having a plurality of link members pivotally connected. Each link member having a forward end, a rearward end, a lower side, and an upper side. The upper side having a plurality of spaced apart nodules extending upwardly therefrom which function to effectively decrease the friction between an object disposed on the conveyor apparatus and the conveying surface of the conveyor apparatus.

Surge control or accumulator apparatus and corresponding method include a relative downstream shift operation of a particular distance in combination with stopping the inflow of products at a particular upstream point such that product shear points are positively eliminated for accumulator product removal operations. An infeed stop mechanism traps the leading edge of an appropriate package while permitting other packages to be advanced beyond known shear points during the downstream shift operation. The infeed stop mechanism uses a slidable stop plate and upstream therefrom a wedge shaped guide member to cooperatively trap the leading edge of an approaching product in a pinchless operation, i. e. , without applying clamping force to such product or to other products permitted to pass by the slidable stop plate. An outfeed mechanism includes an adjustable downstream shift feature for controllably shifting a row of products to be removed from a conveyor.
