ABSTRACT:
An inserter device and method for feeding products from an input conveyor to moving carriers on a conveyor system is provided. The inserter device receives incoming products and deposits the products on the carriers such that the products come to rest in a controlled area of the carrier and with a controlled orientation. A linear inserter device is provided which uses a series of rollers operating in a first direction to receive the product and a belt removes the products from the rollers onto carriers or other conveying devices. The belt moves in a rotational direction substantially ninety degrees (90.degree.) displaced from the direction of rotation of the rollers. A rotary inserter device is also provided in which the products are received in a compartmented rotor such that rotation of the rotor allows dropping of the product, by gravity, onto a carrier in a manner synchronized with the speed of the rotation of the carrier.
