Abstract
An apparatus is provided for stacking sliced products from a slicing machine of the type in which a loaf is fed into a cutting blade to be cyclically sliced. The apparatus comprises a first stack receiver and a second stack receiver each comprising a pair of receiving plates and operable between a closed position where the receiving plates are adjacent each other for accumulating the slices and an open position where the receiving plates are spaced from each other for discharging the slices. The stack receivers are moved in the vertical direction such that one of them is in the raised position when the other of them is in the lowered position. The stack receivers are closed at the raised position and opened at the lowered position. The slices can be discharged from the stack receiver with maintaining an aligned condition.
