20120279806 | OBSTRUCTION MONITORING METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR A VERTICAL RECIPROCATING CONVEYOR - A method and system for controlling the operation of a drive motor for a vertical reciprocating conveyor. The method initially activates a drive motor to move a carriage from a resting position. After initial start-up period, the method sets a threshold current value as the present current value being drawn by the drive motor. The method compares subsequent present current value measurements to the threshold current value and determines whether the present current value exceeds or falls below the threshold current value by more than an operating limit. If the present current value falls within the operating limits, the threshold current value is updated to the present current value on a periodic basis. In this manner, the method continuously updates the threshold current value to compensate for an increase in the weight being lifted by the vertical reciprocating conveyor. | 11-08-2012 |

20120207578 | Method and Apparatus for a Card Dispenser - A card dispensing system for dispensing cards along a conveying surface which conveys sliced products downstream of a slicer for packaging the sliced products. A hopper contains a stack of cards which are withdrawn from the hopper by a suction force provided via at least one suction cup. The suction cup is moveable vertically to retrieve and remove the card from the hopper. The suction cup is moveable laterally to move the card into a receiving position where a card clamp on a damp carriage arrives to receive the card. Suction force on the card is released when the card damp damps down on the card. The clamp carriage moves the card from the receiving position to the staging position where a nip engages with the card to feed the card through a junction in the conveyor line just as a food product passes over the junction. | 08-16-2012 |

20120073249 | Interleaver System For High Speed Slicing Machine - A sheet interleaver is provided for a slicing machine that includes a slicing plane for slicing an elongated food product and a sheet of web material beneath the elongated product. The interleaver includes a supply of web material, a drawing station, and a feed station. A tensioning station is disposed between the supply of web material and the drawing station to maintain the tension of the web material at a pre-determined tension. A web accumulation station is between the drawing station and the feed station to provide a slackened length of web material within an acceptable range of slack between the drawing station and the feed station. The supply of web material is disposed on a spool which rotates about a cylindrical shaft. The cylindrical shaft has a braking mechanism which protrudes from the shaft to generate a frictional force against the spool. | 03-29-2012 |
