Abstract (en)
[origin: EP0127459A2] A packaging line, particularly one for packaging sliced meats in vacuum packs includes a first conveyor (17) for carrying at equally spaced pitches a series of locations to be filled, a second conveyor (15) for carrying spaced products (a, b, c, d, e) to be packaged and a transfer conveyor (16) to transfer products (a, b, c, d, e) from the second conveyor (15) to the first conveyor (17). The line includes means (20) to match the movement of the transfer conveyor (16) with that of either the first (17) or the second conveyor (15), a first detector (D1) adjacent the downstream end of the second conveyor (15) for detecting the presence of a product (a) adjacent the downstream end of the second conveyor (15), a second detector (D2) for detecting the presence of a product (a) on the transfer conveyor (16), and control means to control the means (20) to match the movement of the transfer conveyor (16) with that of either the first (17) or the second (15) conveyor so that the second (15) and transfer (16) conveyors move together to move a first product from adjacent the first detector (D1) onto the transfer conveyor (16). The control means also stop the transfer conveyor (16) when the first product (a) reaches the second detector (D2) and stop the first conveyor (17) when a second product (b) reaches the first detector (D1). The control means subsequently moves the transfer conveyor (16) and the first conveyor (17) together to feed the first product (a) into a location on the first conveyor (17).
