A batching machine for assembling containers in batches comprises a pair of conveyor tracks (1a,1b) for moving the containers (4a,4b) to an assembly station (5), and a pivoted gate member (7) which carries barrier means (12a,12b) at each end and which is rocked to cause the barriers to interrupt the flow of containers along the tracks (1a,1b) alternately while allowing a predetermined number of containers on the other track to pass to the assembly station to form a group against a stop (8a,8b). Alternately operating pushers (21a,21b) move each completed group of containers (4a,4b) transversely from the tracks (1a,1b) onto a central conveyor (22) so that groups from one track alternating with groups from the other track are carried to a securing station (23) for taping the containers together and then separating them into batches containing containers from each track in a predetermined combination.
