SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR MONOLAYER ALIGNMENT SNACK CHIP TRANSFER

摘要

The system and method for monolayer alignment snack chip transfer process a snack chip from a first toast-oven conveyor (32) to a second conveyor (42). By using a roll (38) at the discharge of the toast-oven conveyor that has a diameter that is substantially closer in size to the pickup roll (44) of the second conveyor, mechanical devices for lifting the chips off of the first toast-oven conveyor can be avoided. Further, chip preforms' alignment in passing between the two conveyors is maintained.
