ABSTRACT:
A device for positioning products in succession and equally spaced on a conveyor belt comprises: a first rotor which rotates about a fixed horizontal axis of rotation, with a radial pusher which, when the first rotor rotates, intercepts the back of a product, accelerating it along a feed line towards the conveyor belt; and a second rotor which rotates about a fixed axis of rotation parallel with the axis of the first rotor and has a stop which, when the second rotor rotates, periodically intercepts the product feed line. The second rotor is located above the conveyor belt and rotates in such a way that, when it intercepts the feed line, it causes the stop to rotate at a peripheral speed identical to the belt feed speed. The stop on the second rotor intercepts the products accelerated by the first rotor, slowing them and depositing them on the belt in succession and spaced equally apart.
