A clip separating system (1) for separating a clip (3) from an accumulation of clips (3) contained within a feeding assembly (5). The clip separating system (1) includes a separating assembly (7) having an inlet (9) and an outlet (11), the inlet (9) of the separating assembly (7) being operatively connected to an outlet (15) of the feeding assembly (5) for receiving the clip (3) to be separated therefrom, a path (10) being defined between the inlet (9) and the outlet (11) of the separating assembly (7), the clip (3) to be separated being positively driven along said path (10) via a corresponding driving component (19) of the clip separating system (1), the outlet (11) of the separating assembly (7) being vertically offset (21) with respect to the outlet (15) of the feeding assembly. |
