ABSTRACT:
A tube separator has two blocks with vertically and linearly aligned protrusions to which joined tubes are attached for separation into individual tubes. The protrusions are interdigitally arranged when the blocks are adjacent each other. A chain drive engages one block and pulls it from the other block which is locked in a fixed position. A guiding means maintains the blocks in an upright position. An ejecting means for separating the tubes from the protrusions engages the driven block and ejects the tubes from the protrusions. The fixed block is pushed by a driven block from a succeeding cycle and also engages the ejecting means for removing the tubes from the protrusions. The chain drive returns a block along the guide means so that an operator may reuse them with other tubes.
