The invention relates to an automatic device for separating products according to their external defects. The device comprises: a mechanism for the selectively separating and releasing products, in which suitable products are released onto a first outfeed belt and unsuitable products are released onto a second outfeed belt; and a set of retaining elements or clamps for securing the products during their radial movement in the discharge head of the machine together and simultaneously with the conveyor elements that convey the products, the activation of which depends on whether the product is deemed suitable or unsuitable. The invention also relates to a method for releasing products according to their external defects, said method including conveying individual products on housings formed by pairs of runners (1) and separating the products that do not comply with pre-determined parameters by securing said products in their housing with clamps during a portion of the outfeed path, thereby preventing the products from falling by gravity onto the belt used to collect products that comply with the aforementioned parameters, the grip being released upon reaching the position of a second belt that is intended to collect the products that do not comply with the parameters. |
