Abstract: A food singulator apparatus is configured to generate a sequence of spaced apart food slices from a food product conveyed by a conveyor apparatus. The apparatus includes an engagement member for engaging with a front side of the food product and temporarily halt the food product while cutting by a cutting device a front food slice of the food product, and a takeaway device for downwardly sliding the front food slice from the remaining part of the food product and slide it downwards and under the takeaway device where the food slice is subsequently received as an individual food slice.

Abstract: A tray feeding system having a buffer conveyor for trays including a belt with spaced apart free running rollers having a rotation axis perpendicular to the conveying direction. These rollers extend upward from the belt such that the trays partly rest on the rollers. A tray conveyor receiving end is adjacent to an outputting end of the buffer conveyor where items are placed into the trays by a tray filler. A roller interactor is positioned below and adjacent to the surface of the buffer conveyor belt at an outputting end to engage with the rollers at the outputting end area when the buffer conveyor belts move forward rotating the rollers positioned within the outputting end area accelerating the trays on the buffer conveyor within the outputting end area of the buffer conveyor towards the receiving end of the tray conveyor.
