PURPOSE: To contrive complete automation of manufacturing process by obtaining such an equipment that after plate-shaped products in mass production, such as fried bean curd have been automatically numerated, gradual piling can be done gathering every determined pieces with use of a product piling equipment which comprises an endless conveyor apparatus having plural compartment machinery.

CONSTITUTION: Fried bean curd which is gradually manufactured in a large frying tank is conveyed through an arranging conveyor to a product feeder 1, gathered every determined pieces by a product pilling equipment 2, and discharged. Here, the product feeder 1 provides an endless conveyor apparatus 6 and a photoelectric tube 7, and the conveyor apparatus 6 is turned at the determined speed through a belt 11 by a motor 9. Besides, the product pilling equipment 2 comprises an endless conveyor apparatus 15 on whose surface compartment machinery 16 are erected at the determined intervals L, the apparatus 15 is sent down just for the distance equivalent to the thickness of the fried bean curd 17 by revolution of a motor 25 in such a way that an air clutch 21 is moved every time it receives one piece of fried bean curd 17 from the conveyor apparatus 6.
