Abstract: An automated grill (20) automatically transfers frozen food from a freezer component (22) to grilling component (26) by an automatic loading device (24) in response to a signal. Frozen food (52) is loaded in a loading side (32) in the freezer component. When the signal is received indicating that the food is to be grilled, food in a feeding side (34) is raised and delivered to the loading device. When a sensor detects that food is positioned in the loading device, the loading device removes the food from the freezer component and into the grilling component. The food is then grilled as it travels between two substantially vertical grilling structures (80a, 80b ) each surrounded by a conveyor belt (92a, 92b). Preferably, the conveyor belt is made of a non-stick coated Invar. A lateral sensor (98a, 98b) detects and compensates for lateral movement of the conveyor belts. After the food exits the grilling component, the food slides onto a heated holding area (108) for serving.

Abstract: A loading device (24) includes a feeder (66) having a cutout (68) and a sensor (72). When a sensor detects that an item (52) is positioned in the cutout, a motor (70) slides the feeder out of a first component (22) to remove the item from the first component for delivery to a second component (26). Alternatively, the loading device is a pivotal arm (226) which pivots to slide the item out of the first component.
