ABSTRACT:
A method of distributing articles (10), especially such pieces of candy as slabs and bars of chocolate, pralines, etc., that are constantly arriving in transverse rows on a continuous conveyor to several packaging machines (1), whereby the articles are transferred one row at a time by means of a shunt (5) to either an upstream or a downstream packaging machine, arrayed in a row on an outtake belt (7) upstream of each packaging machine, and packaged in each packaging machine. The articles are when necessary supplied to and temporarily stored one row at a time in a buffer (2) in the vicinity of one or more operational or non-operational packaging machines by way of another shunt (6) that is independent of the first shunt and in that, when the capacity of the buffers is exceeded, they are unloaded in sequence by supplying their contents to operational packaging machines.
