Abstract:
A device for positioning products in succession and equally spaced on a conveyor belt, comprising a first rotor, rotating about a fixed axis of rotation and having at least one pusher which, when the first rotor rotates, intercepts the back of each product, accelerating the product along a product feed line towards the conveyor belt; and a second rotor, rotating about a fixed axis of rotation parallel with the axis of the first rotor and having at least one stop which, when the second rotor rotates, intercepts the product feed line, said second rotor being located above the conveyor belt and rotating in such a way that, when it intercepts the feed line, it causes the stop or stops to rotate at a peripheral speed identical to the belt feed speed, said stop or stops on the second rotor intercepting the products accelerated by the first rotor, slowing them and depositing them on the belt in succession and spaced equally apart.
