Benefits of technology

The patent describes a mechanism called a ramming system that moves material from one place to another. It consists of a carriage that can be mounted on a conveyor and move from one location to another. There is also an air cylinder that is mounted on the carriage and can be stroked forward and reverse. The technical effect of this invention is a more efficient and effective way of moving materials around a manufacturing process.

Problems solved by technology

These types of air cylinders, however, are slow, as it takes time to fill each cylinder with air.
Some air cylinders use a spring for the reverse stroke and these types are slow as well.
Additionally, the longer the length of a stroke, the more wear there is on the air cylinder and the more maintenance problems that result.

Description

PRIORITY[0001]This application claims priority from U.S. Provisional Patent Application Ser. No. 61 / 615,412, filed on Mar. 26, 2012, and from U.S. Provisional Patent Application No. 61 / 618,020, filed Mar. 30, 2012, the disclosures of both of which are incorporated by reference in their entireties.FIELD OF THE INVENTION[0002]The present invention relates generally to a device for moving material from one location to another. The invention relations more specifically to an automated device for loading material into a bag, net, or tube. More specifically, the invention relates to an improved ramming mechanism for loading material into a bag, net, or tube.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0003]Ramming mechanisms are conventionally used to move materials from one location to another. A ram is used in automated loaders, such as, for example, the automated poultry loader described in U.S. Pat. No. 7,178,310, Poly-stretch Bagger System with Hocking Pusher, the disclosure of which is incorporated ...
