ABSTRACT:
An infeed conveyor for a packaging machine holds a first squeezer conveyor having upper and lower belts spaced to receive workpiece rolls in an end to end relationship between them. The lower accelerating rollers and the upper accelerating rollers advancing the workpiece rolls further along the path of the first squeezer conveyor. At least one upper accelerating roller having a drive for driving it at a higher speed than the other accelerating rollers. A second conveyor being provided for receiving the workpiece rolls. The receiving end of the second conveyor either being at or below the level of the lower accelerating roller. When the receiving end of the second conveyor is below the level of the lower accelerating rollers the workpieces are rotated 90 degrees away from their original endwise advance by the action of the upper accelerating roller that has a drive for driving it at a higher speed than the other accelerating rollers. Flight bars rotating around with the second conveyor running faster than the second conveyor are provided to bunch the workpieces into abutting groups of a predetermined size for entry in packaging machine.
