Abstract
A method and device for transferring products in an equally-spaced manner to a wrapping line, whereby transverse columns of products traveling parallel to their axis on a first conveyor are fed successively in a first direction perpendicular to the axis of the product. Wherein the products, still traveling in the first direction, are compacted and equally spaced, and then fed parallel to themselves along a curved path extending over an arc of 90.degree., and are loaded on to a second conveyor traveling in a second direction perpendicular to the first direction and extending parallel to the axis of the products.
