ABSTRACT:
A metering device is provided that is able to engage and release food stuff items that are being conveyed on a conveyor belt such that the relative positions of the multiple food stuff items on the conveyor belt are spaced at a predetermined interval. In addition, in a preferred embodiment, the metering device is used in combination with a sensing device that is located upstream of the metering device. The sensing device is able to detect the presence of a food stuff item upstream of the metering device such that the sensing device is able to control the engagement and release of the downstream food stuff items.
