ABSTRACT:
Apparatus for making separate stacks of sliced material successively cut from a downwardly moving mass of material on a common cutting level comprises means for supportingly accumulating successive falling slices into stacks of a selected number of slices and discharging the stacks when the selected number of slices has been accumulated, said means includes a pair of support platforms or doors reciprocal toward and away from each other between a closed or accumulating position for supporting a stack as slices are accumulated and an open or discharge position wherein the platforms are spaced apart to discharge downwardly an accumulated stack therebetween. The platform structure is movable between an upper starting level spaced below the cutting level and a lower level wherein discharge of the accumulated stack occurs. The accumulating means also includes a system for moving the doors from the accumulating or closed position to the discharge or open position adjacent the lower level after a stack has been accumulated and for returning the platform structure to the upper level and closing the doors together for accumulating the next stack of slices without interruption of a steady stream of falling slices cut from a downwardly moving mass of material on the cutting level.
