Abstract
Abstract. The action of horizontal roller conveyors on isolated vegetable products, or mass quantities of product, is examined and related to product orientation and size relative to roller diameter and spacing. An isolated specimen on a roller conveyor typically aligns its long axis with the roller axes and is subsequently not transported across the rollers. Efficient transport occurs only when the conveyor is loaded to a product density that provides contact between two or more product specimens. Roller diameters larger than three times the smallest product dimension are usually inefficient transporters. Roller spacing, or the slot width between rollers, can be varied to provide size grading functions by roller conveyors. Conveyor bed rollers may also be employed as devices to uniformly feed grading or packing line equipment from bulk containers.
