Device for handling face cutting products

Abstract

In a device for handling face cutting products, in particular a buffer, arranged between a face cutting device (1) and a further processing device (4), with a table (6) that receives layers (7) comprised of sequential rows (2), a forward feed device (10, 11) that incrementally advances the layer (7), a take-off device (17) that takes the respective foremost row (2) of the layer (7) from the forward feed device and places it against a transverse stop (12) running transverse to the take-off device, and an evacuating device (13) allocated to the transverse stop (12) for removing the row (2) placed against the transverse stop, a high operational reliability and gentle mode of operation can be achieved by virtue of the fact that a gap is provided between the table (6) and transverse stop (12), which accommodates the take-off device (17), which exhibits a plate arrangement moveable in and against the take-off direction, comprised of a front take-off plate (18) proceeding coplanar to the table (6) and a follower plate (19) hinged to the latter so that it can freely move vertically to the surface plane of the table, wherein the take-off plate (18) travels under the transverse stop (12), and snugly abuts a table projection (31) in the back end position, and wherein the follower plate (19) on which the table projection (31) lies and which is routed under the table projection (31) in its back end position, can be lifted at least with its front edge from its level lying below table level to a level flush with the take-off plate (18) and vice versa during the forward feed motion.
