ABSTRACT:
The invention relates to an apparatus for grouping objects in which objects on an ingoing conveyor are released in preselected numbers by a brake. The preselected number of objects pass one or two pushers which are arranged such that they execute a movement that is both transverse relative to the direction of an outgoing conveyor and synchronous with the outgoing conveyor. Where two pushers are used, they move in sequence so that a first pusher groups objects first, followed by the second pusher, and then both pushers remain in their position of rest, and the objects are grouped in three different rows on the outgoing conveyor.
