ABSTRACT:
A device for conveying articles having an array of rollers set alongside one another so as to define, by means of homologous generatrices, a plane of conveyance of said articles. A plurality of motor-driven units for said rollers, each motor-driven unit being able to bring about rotation of at least one respective roller of said array. A control unit, which acts on said motor-driven units and is able to control said motor-driven units with a speed that is selectively determined in such a way that the rollers of the array are divided into a first set of rollers, which move at at least one first speed, and at least one second set of rollers, which move at at least one second speed. Said sets of rollers are contiguous to one another along an ideal demarcation line and, by intervening on the respective motor-driven units, the control unit is able to displace selectively the aforesaid ideal demarcation line in the direction of advance of the articles on the array of rollers.
