The invention relates to a method by means of which articles or article groups (2) conveyed at a transporting speed in n rows (3) in a transporting direction (TR) are reduced to a smaller number of ongoing transporting rows, in particular to (n-1) or (n-2) or (n-3) ongoing transporting rows (3-1, 3-3). A respective spacing (8) is formed at least between the individual articles or article groups (2) of at least one incoming and ongoing transporting row (3-1, 3-3). The length of the spacing (8) corresponds at least to a longitudinal extent of an individual article or of an individual article group (2) in the transporting direction (TR). At least two articles or article groups (2) of the at least one row (3-2) which is to be broken up are transferred simultaneously by a gripping device (10) into a number of successive spacings (8) between articles or article groups (2) of an ongoing transporting row (3-1, 3-3) adjacent to the row (3-2) which is to be broken up, said number of successive spacings corresponding to the number of articles or article groups (2). The invention also relates to a handling apparatus (1) by means of which articles or article groups (2) conveyed at a transporting speed in n rows (3) on a transporting means (5, 6) in a transporting direction (TR) are reduced to a smaller number of ongoing transporting rows, in particular to (n-1) or (n-2) or (n-3) ongoing transporting rows (3-1, 3-3). |
