Abstract

A method and apparatus (10) for inserting partitions (P) into a group of articles (A) is disclosed. The method includes combining articles, such as beverage containers, to form an article group (G) of predetermined configuration, including longitudinal rows of articles.
The article group is conveyed toward a divider (11) disposed in the path of travel. The divider (11), which includes an angled end portion (16) that acts as a cam, separates the article group into article subgroups (SG). Once the article subgroups are transversely separated to a predetermined extent, a partition inserter (26) places a partition (P) between the article subgroups. The two subgroups are then recombined to affix the partition between adjacent articles. The recombined article group, including a partition, is then moved through the packaging machine to the next process step or simultaneously inserted into cartons.
