An Even-Flow or 'rise and fall' conveyor/hopper system creates a holding reservoir of between the inspection table and the feed to the weighing/packing system.

The minimum of drop is created with a conveyor which automatically lowers as crop is tipped into it.  As the crop leaves the conveyor it rises to maintain the same minimum of drop for the crop from inspection table..

Crop sensors control the 'rise and fall' and the stop/start of the belt so a continuous even feed of crop is made to the next part of the handling system.

The Even-Flow 'rise and fall' conveyor is normally 2.6m long x 1200 or 1800mm wide with a variable speed motor and micro processor controller.
