There is described a separating unit (1) for separating a batch (2) of a first and a second package (3a, 3c, 3b) of a product which is pourable within a tube of packaging material from a row (4) of further packages (3d); separating unit (1) comprises a conveyor (12) for conveying row (4) and first and second package (3a, 3c, 3b) along first direction (A), at least one thrust element (22) movable along a path (Q) having a work portion (Q 1 ) which extends along first direction (A) and along which it cooperates with first and second package (3a, 3b, 3c) and with further packages (3d) of row (4), and a return portion (Q 2 ); the work portion (Q 1 ) comprises an inlet end (25) at which thrust element (22) begins to cooperate with row (4), and an outlet end (26) at which thrust element (22) releases batch (2); and driving means (23) stopping thrust element (22) and moving thrust element(22); separating unit (1) comprises sensor means (30) for generating a signal associated to the length of a gap between first and second package (3a, 3c, 3b) of batch (2); driving means (23) are controllable by sensor means (30), so as to accelerate the speed of thrust element (22).
