ABSTRACT:
A conveyor passes across the exit end of a dryer through which strips of lasagna have passed carried on a succession of stick feeders. The conveyor is divided into a succession of narrow flights defined by upstanding push fingers. Mounted above the flight conveyor at the exit end of the dryer are a series of parallel tiltable shelves or flippers each having a width corresponding to a conveyor flight. Each of the stick feeders as it emerges from the dryer lays a group, for example, twenty-four U-shaped lasagna strips in parallel across the series of flippers. The stick feeder is then withdrawn through the open end of the U-shaped lasagna strip and the flippers are tilted to allow the lasagna strips to slide down into the conveyor flights. A friction belt moving at a speed faster than that of the conveyor assists in pulling the lasagna strips from the flippers and into the conveyor flights.
