Abstract

The invention is applied to a conveyor system including a main line (1), on which a flow of products arranged in rows advances with the longer sides of the products (A) oriented along the direction of advance, and at least one branch line onto which respective fractions of the flow of products (A) are directed. Initially, the products (A) advance on the branch line with their longer sides oriented transverse the direction of advance and they are then turned round (5) so as to advance once more with their longer sides arranged along the direction of advance. Before they are turned round, the products (A) are subjected to an accumulation step. The flow of products output from the accumulation step (4), measured in terms of the number of products (A) per unit of time, is governed by the flow of products taken in by a handling station (W) situated further downstream, also measured in terms of the number of products per unit of time.
