A conveyor apparatus includes first and second parallel-spaced endless conveyors extending from a receiving station to a first transfer station for moving products in an advancing direction from the receiving station to the first transfer station and a plurality of product-carrying elements mounted on the first and second conveyors at a uniform spacing from one another. The product-carrying elements mounted on the first conveyor form a first group of product-carrying elements and the product-carrying elements mounted on the second conveyor form a second group of product-carrying elements. The first and second groups extend over one part of the length of the respective first and second conveyors. A drive moves the first and second conveyors independently from one another such that products are conveyable from the receiving station to the first transfer station alternatingly by the first and second conveyors. A first discharge mechanism, situated at the first transfer station includes a plurality of product-pushing elements for displacing products transversely to the advancing direction away from the product-carrying elements. The product-pushing elements are spaced identically to the spacing of the product-carrying elements. A third conveyor extends from the first transfer station to a second transfer station. Receiving elements are mounted on the third conveyor for carrying containers from the first transfer station, where products are placed into the containers by the product-pushing elements, to the second transfer station.
