Apparatus and method for feeding products from selected product stacks

摘要: A number of product feeders comprise a conveyor (20) underlying friction wheel (24) operated by pulsed drive. continuously rotating drive shaft (42) is coupled to selected feeder (11) controller (80) coupling (38) on the with transmission (22) associated (11). This may be effected an air cylinder (48b) operating under control move into position whereat it driven (38). Alternatively, clutched (80). The rotates through arc in order drop (18) from stack (12) products partially supported onto now moving (20). downstream sensor (62), when sensing that has been delivered, signals so decouples (42).
