Trough conveyor designed and configured to transport fish in a transport direction TM transverse to the longitudinal direction of the fish, and apparatus and method for transporting fish from such trough conveyor to transport means downstream of the trough conveyor
The present invention is a trough conveyor (10) designed and constructed to transport fish in the transport direction TM in a direction transverse to the longitudinal direction of the fish, which trough conveyor can be driven to rotate from the chain link (11) A transport chain (12) formed and having a transport path (13) and a return path (14) defining a transport plane E1, the continuous transport chain (12) driving and guiding the transport chain (12) Guides around at least two deflecting elements (15) which can rotate around a rotation axis DU, and the transport chain (12) has a trough (16) intended to receive one fish each. A trough conveyor (10) arranged on a transport chain, the trough conveyor being capable of pivoting each trough (16) about a rotation axis DM extending in a direction transverse to the transport direction TM. The troughs (16) are arranged on the transport chain (12) so that each trough (16) includes a point including at least one guide body (17) and the guide body (17), and the guide body (17 At least one guide rail (18) guiding the guide rail (18) in the transition region U around the deflection element (15), at least in the transition region U from the transport path (13) to the return path (14). 18) or the course of each guide rail (18) relates to a trough conveyor (10) which is superior at least in part to the course of the transport chain (12) around the deflection element (15). The invention further relates to an apparatus and method for transferring fish from such trough conveyors to downstream conveying means. [Selection] Figure 1
