ABSTRACT:
A patty stacker is presented which is fully adjustable over a wide range of length, width and thickness of frozen or reasonably stiff meat patties or other flat food shapes hereinafter called patties; which accepts a predetermined configuration of individual patties either plain or frozen on a rectangle of paper from the discharge point of a separate conveying means in one or more parallel independent lanes; which quickly attains and retains a reasonably positive hold on the individual patty as it enters the conveying means; which accelerates the patty to a predetermined rate of speed; which conveys the patty in a horizontal plane past patty sensing means; which delivers the patty in a reasonably controlled manner into the top of a substacking volume; which counts patties into a reasonably stable substack at a level below the plane of the conveying means; which drops the substack in a reasonably controlled manner into a main stack volume; which repeats the substacking operations as necessary to obtain the predetermined full stack count required; which moves the counted and completed stack out of the stack volume to a take-away conveyor in a reasonably controlled manner while the first substack of a new stack is being formed; and to do all of the above at high speed, say at about the rate of 120 patties per minute per lane.
