A discharge gate mechanism or structure for proportioning a volume of goods between two flow streams. The gate discharge structure includes a one-piece tube having a gate discharge opening therein. A feed trough is connected to tube for reciprocal simultaneous movement with tube for moving the goods along trough and tube. A motor is effective to rotate tube and opening therein relative to feed trough to position discharge opening at a desired location for controlling the discharge of goods between two flow streams.

A differential impulse conveyor includes a tray which is driven in a forward direction at a slow speed and a backward direction at a higher speed to slide goods with respect to the tray and thereby move goods along the tray. The drive motor powers the tray in the forward and backward directions through a drive shaft and a tray crank interconnecting the drive shaft and the tray. Controller is provided for varying the rotational speed of the motor shaft, thereby avoiding mechanical knock in the drive system. In another embodiment, a pair of counterweights are provided on opposing sides of the drive shaft , with respective counterweight cranks initiating forward movement of each counterweight at a preselected offset angular position with respect to forward movement of the tray. The differential impulse conveyor and method of the present invention substantially eliminates mechanical knocking in the drive system, thereby extending the useful life of the conveyor and minimizing the size of the conveyor components.

A differential impulse conveyor includes a conveyor base and a tray movable in a forward direction to move goods with the tray and in a backward direction to slide goods along the tray. A pair of tray support members interconnect the conveyor base in the tray. Each tray support member may be pivotally connected at a lower end of the conveyor base and pivotally connected at an upper end of the tray. An electrically powered linear motor moves the tray forward and rearward. A connector support for interconnecting the base and the tray, or for interconnecting any stationary member and a movable member, may include a linear bearing having an end surface with a radius for rolling engagement with a contact surface having a radius twice of that of the end surface to achieve the desired linear motion of the tray or movable member.

An improved seasoning system uniformly coats a food product with the desired amount of seasoning, with the seasoning rate preferably being controlled as a function of the product volume signals from the sensors and. The seasoning system preferably utilizes linear motion conveyors and either a rotating drum or a deflector and a second seasoning unit between linear conveyors. Oil may be sprayed onto food products and tumbled in a drum which both rotates and moves in a reciprocating manner with the conveyor tray. An improved seasoning tray has a planar floor with an angled discharge edge for uniformly distributing seasoning on the product. The seasoning system minimizes damage to the food product and uniformly coats the product with a desired amount of seasoning.

An improved tumble drum is provided for mixing one food product with another food product, and includes a rotating tumble drum for rotating the products about a drum axis of rotation, with the drum having a product input in one end and a product output in an axial opposing end. A tumble drive motor rotates the tumble drum. Another drive mechanism reciprocates the tumble drum linearly in a direction aligned with the axis of rotation. The product is discharged from the axial opposing end of the tumble drum. A product tray is providing for inputting food product to the tumble drum, and the rotating tumble drum may be fixed to the product tray such that the drive mechanism linearly rotates both the tumble drum and the product tray in a slow forward/backward manner.
