Abstract
An apparatus for rotating rectangular flat articles that have been accumulated in an imbricated formation on and are moving in a conveying direction along a belt conveyor. A stop is arranged in the movement path of the products, on one side relative to the central axis of the incoming imbricated formation. A roller is located on the other side relative to the central axis, the axis of rotation for which extends at a right angle to the conveying direction of the product and is tangent to the stop. The apparatus prevents damage to the products and insures rotation of the products that have been accumulated in imbricated formation.
