A method and apparatus for stacking slices of food products such as wrapped cheese slices and the like at high speeds. The apparatus comprises a vacuum conveyor for supporting slices from above, and at least one transfer bridge for mechanically peeling the slices sequentially from the conveyor and directing them downward into one or more stacking locations. The transfer bridge preferably comprises a plurality of downwardly sloping surfaces disposed beside the belts. To assist the transfer bridge in separating the slices from the belts, and to control slice position after separation, fluid pressure is applied to the slices during and after separation from the belts.

Appareil et méthode d'empilement de tranches de produits alimentaires comme des tranches de fromage enveloppées, ou l'équivalent, à haute vitesse. L'appareil comprend un convoyeur à vide pour supporter les tranches du dessus, et au moins un pont de transfert pour peler mécaniquement les tranches en séquence du convoyeur et les acheminer en aval vers un ou plusieurs emplacements d'empilement. Le pont de transfert comprend préférablement une série de surfaces inclinées vers le bas disposées à côté des courroies. Afin d'aider le pont de transfert à séparer les tranches des courroies, et de contrôler la position desdites tranches après leur séparation, une pression fluidique est appliquée aux tranches pendant et après leur séparation des courroies.
