<p>The conveyor i.e. spiral conveyor (2), has conveying paths for conveying joint elements e.g. insert nut, which is provided with defined orientation layers. Two sorting units (20, 22) sort the joint elements in different orientation layers. Output paths (16A, 16B) are connected to the sorting units, respectively, for outputting the joint elements in a predetermined orientation. The sorting units are arranged in series at the conveying paths, which runs helically on a wall (6) of a sorting pot (4), where the sorting units are inserted in the wall of the sorting pot.</p> |
