Abstract
A controlled product feed system for delivering discrete products at high speed to a downstream industrial operation which requires accurate speed and position of delivery. A retarding force is applied to the product stream to accumulate an abutting sequence of products with means controlling the rate of package release to correspond to the downstream operation and timing the release to obtain a predetermined phase of arrival of products at the point of delivery.
