Abstract

An apparatus for sorting articles supplied in boxes (7) includes a box conveyance system consisting of a main conveyor (1, 2, 8, 20, 21, 24) and at least two sub-conveyors (30a, 30b, 30c, 31a, 31b, 31c) branching off from said main conveyor. The main con­ veyor is provided with devices (28a, 28b, 28c, 29a, 29b, 29c) for controlled transfer of a box after emptying to a sub-conveyor if there is a need for an empty box.
The apparatus further includes an articles con­ veyance system, e.g. consisting of a conveyor belt (11, 15, 17), said system extending from the first part (8) of the main conveyor and passing across or leading to the sub-conveyors. The articles conveyance system has a weighing section (15, 16) and following this section a sorting section (17) provided with controllable divert­ ing means (18, 19) in the intersecting points of the system and the sub-conveyors, for passing the articles transferred from a box (7a) on to the system (11, 15, 17) into boxes (7b, 7c, 7d) on the sub-conveyors.
The apparatus may for instance be used for sorting hides from slaughtered animals according to quality, weight and species.
