ABSTRACT:
A rotary motion feeder for use in placing work products into one of the flights of a feed conveyor of a packaging machine is disclosed. The rotary motion feeder includes a planetary feeder assembly supported on a framework, the planetary feeder assembly being moved in timed relationship with the feed conveyor. The planetary feeder assembly includes a plurality of upwardly extending planetary shafts, each planetary shaft having a feed paddle mounted on the end thereof, the feed paddle being constructed and arranged to at least partially extend through a comb plate formed as a part of a feed magazine for stripping work products therefrom, and moving the work products through an arcuate path into one of the flights of the feed conveyor as it moves along the path of travel through the packaging machine. The rotary motion feeder is also constructed and arranged to move horizontally stacked work products into the flights of the feed conveyor.
