Abstract
An anti-inertia stacker for stacking products and especially suited for products which are prone to dislodgment on or from a substrate during processing movement is provided. The anti-inertia stacker comprises a traveling pallet which is mounted for movement. The traveling pallet receives a product or product laden substrate from a conveyor while traveling at substantially the same speed as the conveyor. The traveling pallet includes a moveable conveying surface. The conveying surface, moving in the direction opposite to the direction of travel of the product or product laden substrate, decelerates the received item. The product or product laden substrate can then be stacked.
