Abstract: A device is described for packaging products, in particular sliced bread, in bags. This device comprises feed and discharge means for the breads to be packaged and a scoop assembly which is principally perpendicular to the direction of conveyance of the products by the device and which can be displaced reciprocally. During operation, the device can bring a bag over the product to be packaged by means of displacement of the scoop assembly, while the product to be packaged is blocked. The scoop assembly comprises an upper and a lower scoop, which scoops can be moved relative to each other. The lower scoop comprises, in order to prevent the crust and/or individual slices of the bread falling over, air flow nozzles which provide a current of air directed obliquely upwards towards the bread.A scoop assembly is also described which is suitable for use in a packaging device for packaging products in bags.

Abstract: Device for packaging products, in particular bread, in bags, comprising a bearing guide (1) which guides a bearing part (2) which is driven in a reciprocating movement. The bearing part bears lower and upper scoops (7, 9) which can move relative to each other. During the movement of the bearing part, the scoops place a bag (13) over product (8). The lower scoop has a supporting surface (30) which, at least during the infeed of a product is inclined downwardly. A horizontal conveyance surface of discharge means (15) extends to just below the lower scoop. The device comprises a tilting unit in order to turn the scoops in such a way that the supporting surface assumes a horizontal position while a bag is being placed.
