ABSTRACT:
An apparatus for cutting slices from two foodstuffs and for stacking the slices has a blade having an input side and an output side and an input table on the input side adapted to support the two foodstuffs next to each other and displaceable on the input side of the blade past same to cut slices from the foodstuffs so that the slices pass to the output side. A plurality of conveyor elements extending downstream from the output side of the blade displace the slices sequentially as they come from the blade through an upstream position adjacent the blade and into a downstream position. An output table is provided on the output side adjacent the downstream station and a transfer fork having tines engaged between the conveyor elements extends through the downstream station but not to the upstream station. An actuator connected to the transfer fork displaces the fork through the conveyor and lifts a slice from the downstream station and deposits it on the output table without engaging a slice in the upstream station each time a slice arrives in the downstream station. The slice in the upstream station is moved to the downstream station after a slice in the downstream station has been lifted therefrom by the fork and deposited on the output table and then this slice is lifted and deposited by the fork on the slice on the output table.
