This single-row dumpling conveyor has a V-shaped transport surface, and therefore randomly sent dumplings are at the bottommost position of both conveyor bodies of each single-row dumpling conveyor. When they are transported, the overlapping dumplings start to shift each other because the speeds of both conveyors are different at this time, and while being transported, they are aligned in a row at the V-shaped bottom portion in the transport direction and transported to the end. To be done.

[0008] Then, the dumplings conveyed by each of the single-row dumpling conveyors are supplied to the parallel dumper conveyors of the skewering machine through the dumper transfer chute. In this case, the dumplings conveyed on each single-row dumpling conveyor are dropped one by one at each of the upward receiving ports at the end thereof, and are received while maintaining a single row in each chute portion.

In this way, the dumplings received in the respective chute parts are discharged in parallel from the downward discharge outlets opened at the lower end collecting parts of the respective chute parts, three in parallel, and the dumpling trays of the parallel dumpling transfer conveyor are received. Be accommodated in a container.

Since the dumplings received in each of the chutes are stocked in the chutes and are sequentially discharged from the downward discharge port at the lower end, there is no empty discharge of the dumplings, so that the dumplings can be reliably supplied. You can

Three dumplings, which are accommodated in parallel in the dumpling receiver of the parallel dumpling conveyor, are intermittently moved by the parallel dumper conveyor, and three skewers are arranged in parallel by a skewer provided in the middle. It is skewered as it is.
