Abstract

1. Perfeccionamientos in the transportadores-selectors of fruit, characterized essentially by the fact to comprise means of endless drag for a plurality of buckets, whose means are driven through an electro-moto-reductor; because said motor-reducer provides the driving means with a uniform and continuous movement for the displacement of the buckets, the speed of movement of said buckets being constant throughout the working process; because the aforementioned buckets have an opening or window through which a photoelectric cell verifies the existence or not of the fruit; because above the buckets are a series of hoppers filling those; because said filling hoppers have in turn conveniently arranged, and each of them, a detector that determines the existence of fruits in these and because the coincidence of the indication of the photoelectric cell of a bucket, in the sense of non-existence of fruit in the same, and the detector of the upper or filling hopper, in the sense that the latter does contain fruit, produces the activation of a mechanism based on electromagnet in charge of making the opening of trapdoors of the hoppers of filling that pour the fruit into the lower bucket.
