ABSTRACT:
A method of packing biscuits and similar flat cakes into elongated boxes of the type adapted to receive a pile of biscuits with the axis of the pile extending in the longitudinal direction of the box and with the single biscuits in the pile forming an oblique angle with this direction, the biscuits being filled down into the box through an elongated opening in the top side thereof, whereafter this opening is closed normally by means of a transparent sheet material. The biscuits are successively transferred from the delivery end of a tunnel oven into a fixed delivery position above a piling receptacle and the first biscuit is brought to stand edgewise on a releasable bottom portion of the receptacle and leaned in an inclined position against a displaceable end wall portion of the receptacle, and the end wall portion is displaced a distance corresponding to the thickness of one biscuit, whereafter the next biscuit is brought correspondingly from said delivery position to an inclined position supported by said bottom portion and leaned against said first biscuit, and so forth until the lying pile has the desired length, whereafter the said bottom portion is released so as to cause the entire pile to fall down from the receptacle into a box placed therebeneath. The invention also comprises an apparatus for handling the biscuits according to this method, the apparatus preferably being made so as to be able to handle several rows of biscuits by each operation cycle.
