Laravel pagination render() not working.

I have a controller que find the products and return to view . Current i'm trying make the pagination and i'm using the following code :

return $this->queryProductsAvailable()
                ->where('fornecedores.plano_id', $plano)
                ->select('produtos.*')
                ->paginate( $limit );      

function queryProductsAvailabe:

private function queryProductsAvailable()
{   
   return Products::join('fornecedores', 'fornecedores.id', '=' ,'produtos.fornecedor_id')
                        ->where( 'fornecedores.ativo', '1')
                        ->where( 'produtos.moderacao', 'P' )
                        ->where( 'produtos.ativo' , '1' )  
                        ->where( 'produtos.preco_min', '>', 0 )
                        ->select( 'produtos.*');                   
}

To view i'm return the following:

return view('Catalogo.index', 
                    [ 
                        'products' => $products
                    ] 
                );

But when i run the method $products->render()nothing happens.
No errors, no messages...
if i run $products->total() is returned the value 0
if i run $products->nextPageUrl() nothing happens

The same variable used to access this methods is used for the loop and print of products and the foreach works fine.

if i access the url with /?page=2 the pagination works, but not render list of pages.

Any idea?
