Abstract
Batches of biscuits are fed to a wrapping machine by a continuously moving infeed conveyor including a series of pusher bars. The batches are fed simultaneously from a number of magazines, disposed alongside the conveyor and pitched closer together than the pusher bars, to a common carrier which then moves to a discharge position above the conveyor. The batches are dropped sequentially from the carrier onto the conveyor under the control of air valves.
