The present invention concerns a handling process for staging manufactured articles leaving a production unit and travelling towards a receiving machine, e.g. a packaging unit working at a preset speed, and a facility for putting this process into effect. Each object or group of objects leaving the production unit is so placed to match the requirements of the receiving machine and each following the other on an endless conveyor belt staged and phased at random in relation to the correct staging and phasing for the receiving machine's operating cycle, the dephasing of each article is measured in relation to a reference signal which defines the zero angle of the working cycle of the receiving machine, this reference signal immediately preceding detection of the said article, the instantaneous speed of the receiving machine is measured, each article is speeded up or slowed down in at least one regulating station in relation to the measured dephasing and the speed of the receiving machine, and the said article on leaving the regulating station is transferred to an endless conveyor belt travelling in synchronisation with the receiving machine. The purpose of the handling process and of the facility is to arrange the articles as they arrive in column and correctly aligned but with random staging and phase so that they can be conveyed to the packaging machine with the correct staging and phase, so that the proper operation of the machine is ensured.
