ABSTRACT:
The apparatus and method concerns transferring commodities from A to B, distancing them at regular intervals in the same operation. Commodities traveling in random succession along a conveyor with a low coefficient of friction are gathered into a single file, one touching the next, by the braking action of a pair of belt loops offering surfaces that possess a high coefficient of friction; the speed of the two belt loops is adjusted utilizing a photoelectric beam that monitors the position of the leading commodity on its arrival at the pick-up point, where suckers carried by a continuously revolving turret collect the single commodities one by one and transfer them to a second conveyor equipped with side fences and transverse ridges which ensure correct position and spacing.
