ABSTRACT:
Method for dividing a row of identical solid products brought in on an input conveyor along the axis of symmetry of the latter, from an upstream delivery apparatus to two output conveyors connected respectively to two downstream receiving apparatuses, said products emerging from the delivery apparatus resting flat on their largest surface on said input conveyor, said method including the steps of disposing tipping means comprising an entry dihedral with two tipping surfaces so that the ridge of said dihedral is aligned with said axis of symmetry of the input conveyor; bringing the products coming from the input conveyor to pass successively over the ridge of said dihedral; conferring a minimum rectilinear speed on said input conveyor, so that said products are placed successively in equilibrium on said ridge; causing each of said products to tilt onto a selected tipping surface of the dihedral by applying selectively to the upper surface of the products in equilibrium, a compressed air jet oriented towards the selected tipping surface, and transporting separately the thus tipped products on to each of the two output conveyors to the respective downstream apparatuses. Method applicable to bags of biscuits.
