ABSTRACT:
In a commercial lasagna making and packaging machine, a collator comprises a vertically movable conveyor having shelves positioned to receive strips of lasagna delivered thereto by a horizontally moving main conveyor which carries the strips of lasagna from the dryer through the cutters to the collator. A counter counts the number of lasagna strips delivered to the collator conveyor. When the desired number of strips have been counted, a push plate pushes a stack of lasagna strips into the receiving section of a narrow belt bulk conveyor for transport to the packaging station. First retaining means are then moved to closed position to retain opposite ends of the lasagna stacks on each side of the push plate. Following withdrawal of the push plate, second retaining means are moved to close the opening created by the withdrawal of the push plate.
