ABSTRACT:
A combined jump conveyor and slicing machine includes a jump conveyor formed by a first short conveyor (1) adjacent the slicing blade (3) of the slicing machine having a length substantially equal to the length of one or two shingled slices in the shingled direction and a second conveyor (2) downstream of the first conveyor (1). Both conveyors (1 and 2) of the jump conveyor have an independent drive (7,8) and a controller (9) to drive the two conveyors at the same speed or at different speeds. The independent drive (7) and controller (9) of the first conveyor (1) also enable it to be driven at high speed in the reverse direction away from the second conveyor (2) to reject slices cut by the slicing blade (3). The slicing machine and jump conveyor combination preferably includes a sensor (10) which detects the height of a log (5) to be cut immediately upstream of the slicing blade (3) of the slicer and means to control the low shingling speed of the jump conveyor (1) in accordance with the output of the sensor (10) to provide groups of shingled slices of constant length in the shingling direction.
