The Infeed conveyor with two-sides ejector changes the direction of logs from longitudinal to cross transfer to both sides. The ejector which kicks the logs to both sides is usually installed on the log infeed conveyor with one chain 107. This type of conveyor usually follows after a log singulator 104, a step feeder 102 or an infeed conveyors with either one or two chains 106, 107. The construction shape of the conveyor is just the same as of the conveyors 106 or 107 but it is fitted with two-sides ejector. We use only one type of bottom swinging ejector. The drive is electric and the ejecting is medium fast. The ejector comes from under the infeed conveyor and has to return to its start position. In case of bigger and heavier logs the ejectors with two geared motors and more kicker arms are used.
The speed can be regulated by the frequency converter. The length of the conveyor varies from 6 to 200 m. The following machine can be a bin for ejected logs 193, a buffer log deck 105, an elevator 103 or a cross chain conveyor 112.
