Abstract
A device allowing concrete products sorted on a traveling conveyor to be formed in a predetermined pattern of products for subsequent feeding onto a concrete product stacking cuber. A set of pneumatic wheels located downstream of the conveyor and vertically distanced from the conveyor cooperate with a rubber lined shaft located under the wheels to contact the concrete product to act as a gate to the predetermined pattern. The wheels and the shaft are driven in synchronization to rotate in a direction as to cause the pattern of concrete products to be forwarded therebetween to the stacking cuber.
