Abstract (en)
A volumetric loader for the volumetric portioning of stacked products comprising a machine (10) which makes stacks of a preset length of biscuits, crackers or similar products ready for packing later in a closed wrapper along a packing line for such products, where the machine (10) comprises a feed conveyor (11) which feeds product towards a portioning unit which has one or more portioning stations (12), where the outfeed conveyor (21), comprising a double chain (22) whose links face the opposite side of the conveyor (21) and which are connected by bars (25), has a conveyor belt (24) located between the respective actuating rollers, designed to move at an adjustable speed and actuated by an independent motor in such a way that increasing or decreasing the speed of the belt governed by its independent motor, thrusts or stops the biscuits against the bars (23), that is, the belt pushes the "slug" of loose biscuits against the front bar of the chain line (22) or brakes the "slug" of biscuits against the rear bar of the chain line (22), so as to perfectly straighten each "slug" of biscuits especially those which may be out of line.
