DOCUMENT SEPARATOR AND METHOD FOR THE SAME

摘要

Method for processing substantially flat products (4) such as, for example, documents, comprising: -providing a first transport surface (16); -providing a second transport surface (36), disposed substantially parallel and opposite to the first transport surface, so as to define a product travel path (6) having a path direction (L) between them; -moving the first transport surface and the second transport surface in the path direction (L) along the product travel path at different speeds; -feeding two or more mutually overlapping products into between the first transport surface and the second transport surface at an upstream end of the product travel path; and -conveying the products downstream along the product travel path, thereby allowing the transport surfaces to gradually decrease an overlap between successive products. Also disclosed is an apparatus (1) for executing said method.
