The dribble belts are rough surface rubber belts set at an incline and rolling uphill(on the top surface).... We used a total of 5 dribble belts which are fed in series to result in a cumulative cleaning/sorting process. The first belt receives the "strippage" from the primary conveyor belt under the stripping section. The [hop] cones roll "downhill", while the leaves and less round debris such as branches stick to the rough surface and are drawn uphill along with some of the cones that don’t roll down the first dribble belt. Whatever hasn’t rolled down the first belt is delivered to the second where another round of separation takes place. This continues over 5 belts with the "trash" being deposited over the top of the last dribble belt onto a trash conveyor while the cones that come off the bottom of each dribble belt are deposited onto a primary hop conveyor. 2, record 1, English, - dribble%20belt

Les cônes [de houblon et les] feuilles restantes sont amenés vers plusieurs tapis trieurs inclinés (parfois un seul tapis sur les plus petits modèles). L'entraînement des tapis vers le haut permet aux cônes de rouler tandis que les feuilles restent sur le tapis et sont amenées vers le convoyeur à déchets. On utilise souvent des tapis gaufrés afin que les feuilles s'accrochent plus facilement. 1, record 1, French, - tapis%20trieur%20inclin%C3%A9

After the selected potatoes have been cleaned and peeled, they tumble into a giant hopper where they are fed onto a conveyor belt and carried to automatic potato slicers-round spinning tubs fitted with sharp blades.

The machine would take the fish tail first and cut off all the fins, then slit the belly and used two rotary wire wheels to rip the guts out(and make quite a mess). Next the fish went into the gang knife which cut the whole fish into pieces that were as high as a can. The pieces fell onto a conveyor belt and were fed into the rotary fish filler. This machine took the fish pieces and compacted them into can sized lumps and then stuffed them into a can and added a pinch of salt for flavor. 3, record 5, English, - gang%20knife

A number of methods are used to reclaim chips from storage. Older systems employ a belt or chain conveyor along the side of the pile fed by a bulldozer that pushes chips down the side of the pile. This type of arrangement is labor-intensive, usually necessitating a full-time bulldozer operator, and inevitably causes damage to the chips. Modern installations work automatically, some employing augers or chain conveyors on rotating platforms at the base of the pile.... 1, record 9, English, - chip%20reclaim
