Abstract

A system for transporting cheeses produced by one spinning machinery into a container located in a predetermined position near the end of the spinning machinery is disclosed. The system comprises a first conveyer extending along the major length of the spinning machinery to receive the doffed cheeses thereon directly from the spinning machinery, and a second conveyor extending between the end of the first conveyer and the container to receive and transport the cheeses from the first conveyer to the container. The second conveyer is driven at a higher speed than the first conveyer to allow the cheeses to be automatically contained in the container which has an inner diameter slightly larger than an outer diameter of the cheese in a manner which allows the bobbins of the cheeses to be stacked in end-to-end relationship.
