摘要 |
<p>The invention relates to a device (1) for forming batches from flexible brick-type objects (20) containing a liquid, said objects circulating in alignment, in a row, and substantially adjacent to one another, said device including: a conveyor (2), designed to convey the objects (20) by friction along a conveying axis (4); a braking mechanism (5) designed to slow down at least one object (Cl) relative to the conveyor, said object being referred to as a batch starting object. Said mechanism is designed to release the objects preceding said batch starting object such that the former continue to be moved by the conveyor. The braking mechanism is provided with a transverse shifting means (25) designed to move, laterally relative to the conveying axis, an object (B6) immediately preceding the batch starting object (Cl).</p> |
