ABSTRACT:
A method and apparatus for increasing the number of longitudinal rows of bakery articles which are being advanced on an oven conveyor belt in longitudinal and transverse rows according to which there are formed a number n of identical groups of directly adjacent longitudinal rows corresponding to the number of additional longitudinal rows, n being a whole number equal to the number of longitudinal rows initially present divided by the number of groups. From each of the longitudinal rows initially present, one article is removed for every n+1 transverse rows. The articles taken from each group are then arranged to form one additional longitudinal row and the additional longitudinal rows are added to the initially present longitudinal rows. The articles are removed by an oblique suction conveyor belt which is provided with suction cups above a conveyor belt for the articles. The removed articles are transferred to an auxiliary conveyor path along which there is provided for each group of longitudinal rows, a guide rail extending obliquely to the angle of conveyance to form an additional longitudinal row.
