摘要

A grab equipment (34) induces a workpiece along a feed direction (32) from a supply area (14) to the separating area (16). A mobile material slidegate valve (42) then moves the workpiece from the separation area to the withdrawal area (18). An independent claim is also included for a method for separating disc shaped workpieces.
