Abstract
A first edible food product of predetermined length is received by an intermittently movable upper conveyor having an effective length the same as said predetermined length. A lower conveyor continuously transports second edible food products and a sensor senses when each of the second edible food products reaches a predetermined location. A controller receives a signal from the sensor and causes simultaneous movement of the upper conveyor to deposit the supported first edible food product and activation of equipment to place a replacement first edible food product on the upper conveyor.
