ABSTRACT:
A method and apparatus for use in production line of foodstuff and other goods which sorts pieces of goods, such as biscuits, continuously supplied, into groups of a predetermined number of pieces each at predetermined intervals. The transfer speed of pieces on an upstream transport path is set to a predetermined constant speed, and the transport speed of pieces at the sorting section is controlled according to a velocity profile consisting of alternately successive cycles of a low speed zone and a high speed zone. Thus, by utilizing the speed difference between the low speed zone and the high speed zone, groups of a specified number of pieces each are formed on the transport plane of the sorting section, and a predetermined interval is provided between adjacent groups of pieces.
