ABSTRACT:
A feeding station for processing bulbous flowers comprises a conveyor unit with suspension elements provided at discrete mutual distances and at least one feeding unit (3) with a guiding mechanism (4) for guiding, for instance by hand, flowers suspended in the guiding mechanism (4) with the bulbs upward to the conveyor unit and to take over the flowers therein in this position. Below the guiding mechanism (4) an actuator (12) is provided to place the bulbous flowers in the suspension elements (1) of the conveyor unit while seizing the stems. Preferably, a suspension element (1) is provided with a lock, which, dining the takeover of bulbous flowers in a suspension element (1), is released for the time required to affect the takeover of the flower in the suspension element (1).
