Method and conveyor system for transferring products to a stationary position. The conveyer system comprises a continuously running endless first conveyer (10) for carrying the products randomly spaced along the conveyer, and an endless second conveyer (11) having regularly spaced carriers (27) overlapping said first conveyer along a linear distance defined by two pulleys (20, 21). One of them is mounted for linear displacement along the conveyers. Arrival of a product on said first conveyer (10) at said second conveyer (11) is sensed, and in dependence thereof said one pulley (21) is displaced to extend the length of said distance in a direction opposite to the moving direction (19) of said first conveyer (10) each extension corresponding to the length of the spacing between two adjacent carriers (27). After a predetermined number of extensions said second conveyer (11) is driven in the moving direction (19) of said first conveyer to place a corresponding number of spacings with products caught therein in said stationary position. |
