Abstract
The invention relates to a process and apparatus for the random storage of tubes stacked on top of each other in a tube magazine, and for the transfer of the tubes at a transfer position to a conveyor. The tubes are stored randomly in the magazine with their longitudinal axes essentially parallel to each other. Tubes are separated between the transfer position and the magazine and are conveyed out of the magazine in the axial direction.
