Abstract
An apparatus transforms a single file of articles on a conveyor into separated batches of articles on the conveyor. The batches of articles are discharged into receptacles such as product buckets. The separation of the articles into batches provides sufficient time between the batch discharges to index successive receptacles into position at the discharge end of the single file conveyor.
