The disclosure relates to a method and an apparatus for separating overlapping objects ( 3 ) advanced on a conveyer. The conveyer is divided into two individually driven paths, a first ( 1 ) and a second ( 2 ). The paths ( 1, 2 ) each have a bending roller ( 5, 6 ) lying adjacent one another and being interconnected and moveable in the horizontal plane. When separation is to take place, the conveyer paths ( 1, 2 ) and the bending rollers ( 5, 6 ) are advanced forwards at the same speed. Thereafter, the bending rollers ( 5, 6 ) and the second conveyer belt ( 2 ) are accelerated momentarily whereafter the bending rollers ( 5, 6 ) return to the original speed.

Thereafter, the bending rollers ( 5, 6 ) and the second conveyer belt ( 2 ) are accelerated momentarily whereafter the bending rollers ( 5, 6 ) return to the original speed. The second conveyer belt ( 2 ) maintains a higher speed until such time as a requisite separation space is realised. Finally, the second conveyer belt ( 2 ) returns to the original speed, at the same time as the bending rollers ( 5, 6 ) move backwards. |
