The invention relates to a method and device for producing packs of a food that comes in slices, in particular individually packaged processed cheese slices. The pack of food is put together from two uniform product stacks of food slices. The first product stack is transported via a first feed segment, and the second product stack is transported via a second feed segment, in each case horizontally by means of a transport means at transport speed. The feed segments are guided over one another in parallel in a collection area, and the upper feed segment ends at a sliding edge that defines a collection point, whereby means for synchronization are adjusted such that a product stack that arrives via the sliding edge is neatly placed onto the product stack that is transported to the lower feed segment.

An insertion device is used to introduce foil-like material, in particular paper or synthetic segments, between the slices cut by a cutting machine. Such slices are produced in particular in the food industry in the form of sausage, cheese or other food slices with cutting machines. In the insertion device a paper path is unwound from a paper roller and is carried into the cutting range of the circular knife of the cutting machine through an intermittently driven feed device. The insertion device of the cutting machine is arraged on the machine frame so that it can be moved and secured in order to be able to readily clean the insertion device and also to make the corresponding intake area of the cutting machine readily accessible.
