  • Patent number: 6548092
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for separating and delivering, orderly positioned, stiff folded baked products, such as taco shells, from a first conveyor (1), the baked products on said first conveyor resting on carrier means (6), which are preferably adapted to the shape of the baked products, a relative motion being imparted to the respective baked products (12) in relation to the associated carrier means (6) by a separating means (13) being brought into contact with the baked product, preferably from below, to separate the baked product from the carrier means before it is delivered to a delivery station.
