ABSTRACT:
A unit for forming and supplying stacks of products to a machine, wherein a stacking device lifts the products successively off a continuous supply conveyor to form stacks which are fed along a supporting surface by a pocket conveyor for supplying the machine; and wherein, to enable at least partial formation of a stack before a respective conveying pocket is arrested in such a position as to receive the stack, the stacking device is provided with a stop member, which is movable to and from a position of interference with the pockets of the pocket conveyor, and against which the stack is at least partly formed.
