ABSTRACT:
A distributor apparatus for products having an infeed belt and an outfeed belt which are aligned with each other in a conveying direction. A distributor belt is arranged in the conveying direction between the infeed belt and the outfeed belt and this conveyor belt is movable transversely with respect to the conveying direction. The distributor belt includes at least two belt parts which are transversely positioned with respect to each other and movable transversely in unison with each other as a unit. Two independent operable dives mechanically drive the parts of the distributor belt so that products may be outfeed from the infeed belt and to the outfeed belt in transversely arranged groups of product. By controlling the operation of the belt parts of the distributor belt, the number of transverse groups of product on the outfeed belt may be varied.
