Abstract
A stacker assembly is provided that removes a product from a conveyor moving a flow of spaced products and that transfers such products to a discharge assembly. A plurality of products are deposited in this manner onto the discharge assembly until a stack of products having a desired size is formed. A product lifter assembly is included that passes through spacings in the conveyor in order to raise the product above the conveyor, and a comb assembly passes through spacings of the product lifter in order to subsequently receive the raised product for transfer to the discharge assembly.
