ABSTRACT:
This invention is a stacker for a food loaf slicing machine of the kind in which a food loaf is advanced into a slicing station where slices of generally uniform thickness are cyclically sliced from the end of the loaf. The stacker includes first and second stack supports which are positionable to receive slices as they are cut off the loaf. When one stack support has received a complete stack that support is moved to a displaced discharge position and the other stack support immediately moves into an initial slice receiving position immediately adjacent the slicing station, where it can receive a first food loaf slice as cut with essentially no free fall. The stack support is then displaced downwardly approximately one additional slice thickness for each successive slice received, so that each food loaf slice is added to the stack with no free fall. The stack supports transfer the stack to the discharge position without any free fall; continuous support is provided throughout all stack formation and transfer operations.
