Abstract

Apparatus for sorting articles such as caps (2) comprises a sorting zone (7) with an input chute (1) and first and second exits (12), (13). A series of angled holes (19) are used to direct a continuous flow of air from a fan (14) into the sorting zone such that caps having a first orientation will be urged towards the first exit (12). Conversely, a series of angled holes (20) are used to direct a continuous flow of air from the fan (14) into the sorting zone such that caps having a second orientation are urged towards the second exit (13). The air flow from the holes (19) and (20) is directed at each and every cap, and it is only the different orientation of the caps (2) which causes them to react differently so as to be urged towards either the first or second exits. <IMAGE>
