ABSTRACT:
Apparatus is disclosed for simultaneously transferring a plurality of stacks of sliced or bulk food product from a holding station, such as the output of a slicing and stacking machine, to a receiving station, or the like, for loading and packaging of the food product. The device includes a rapidly and continuously operating accumulating conveyor for transferring a plurality of stacks from the holding station to a transfer station, and a shuttle-like, product-engaging member mounted proximate the transfer station for rapid, reciprocating movement transverse to the conveyor for transferring the plurality of stacks from the transfer station to a loading station. The product-engaging member has a plurality of concave portions, each formed to receive one stack of the plurality of stacks of product. A stop is positioned at the transfer station for releasably detaining a first stack in approximate alignment with a first of the concave portions, and switchs are disposed at the transfer station to sense the presence of a plurality of stacks and to actuate the transverse movement of the product-engaging member. At the loading station a combination of support tines or fingers and knife edges hold the food product level over openings for loading of the product into packages at the receiving station. Upon retraction of the fingers, plungers force the stacks of food product past the knife blades and into packages at the receiving station.
