ABSTRACT:
A method and device is provided that separates non-parallel streams of displacing multi-layered stacks of rod-like elements which fill a horizontal conveyor (wherein the elements are displaced by force) and a channel positioned at an angle (wherein the elements are displaced by gravity.) The inside dimensions of the cross sections of the conveyor and the channel allow an equal flow of the elements. To separate the streams, the elements are removed from the adjoining area of the conveyor and the channel, wherein the stack of the elements is a passive stream, to the area of the conveyor or the channel, wherein the stack is an active stream. The space that is taken up by the removed elements equals the space of one quarter of the radius of the cylinder, wherein the walls of the cylinder that are parallel to the axis of the cylinder, separate multi-layered non-parallel streams of the elements.
