Abstract

The disclosure relates to a method and an apparatus for separating overlapping objects (3) advanced on a conveyer. The conveyer is divided into two individually driven paths, a first (1) and a second (2). The paths (1, 2) each have a bending roller (5, 6) lying adjacent one another and being interconnected and moveable in the horizontal plane. When separation is to take place, the conveyer paths (1, 2) and the bending rollers (5, 6) are advanced forwards at the same speed. Thereafter, the bending rollers (5, 6) and the second conveyer belt (2) are accelerated momentarily whereafter the bending rollers (5, 6) return to the original speed. The The disclosure relates to a method and an apparatus for separating overlapping objects (3) advanced on a conveyer. The conveyer is divided into two individually driven paths, a first (1) and a second (2). The paths (1, 2) each have a bending roller (5, 6) lying adjacent one another and being interconnected and moveable in the horizontal plane. When separation is to take place, the conveyer paths (1, 2) and the bending rollers (5, 6) are advanced forwards at the same speed. Thereafter, the bending rollers (5, 6) and the second conveyer belt (2) are accelerated momentarily whereafter the bending rollers (5, 6) return to the original speed. The second conveyer belt (2) maintains a higher speed until such time as a requisite separation space is realised. Finally, the second conveyer belt (2) returns to the original speed, at the same time as the bending rollers (5, 6) move backwards.
