ABSTRACT:
An apparatus for separating and conveying elongate items includes a first pair of side-by-side arranged conveyor belts driven in a conveying direction at identical speeds, a second pair of side-by-side arranged conveyor belts being in longitudinal alignment with the first conveyor belt pair and being driven in the conveying direction at identical speeds greater than the speed of the first conveyor pair. First and second item transfer locations spaced from one another in the conveying direction are defined between the two conveyor belt pairs to cause each item to assume an oblique orientation relative to the conveying direction, and a longitudinal clearance defined between the belts of the first and second conveyor pairs. A suction device including a suction opening aligned with the longitudinal clearance is provided for pressing the items against the conveyor belts. There are further provided a conveyor in a longitudinal alignment with the conveyor belt pairs downstream thereof for receiving the items therefrom, and an item turning device situated above the conveyor for rotating each item into a longitudinal orientation which is at least approximately parallel to the conveying direction.
