<p>The invention relates to a rotation apparatus for rotating supplied objects, for instance pot plants, comprising: transporting means for moving the objects in a first direction; engaging means for braking engagement on the object on only one side of the object so that the object performs a rotating movement superimposed onto the movement in the first direction; supply means for placing the objects for rotating onto the transporting device; and outfeed means for removing and discharging the rotated objects from the transporting device. The engaging means preferably comprise a rail which extends into the path traversed by the object and which comprises a layer on its side facing the object which enhances the friction with the object. According to another preferred embodiment the transporting means comprise a disc drivable in rotation which has a radius such that the objects can execute a movement with a component in the radial direction, and the rail extends in accordance with a chord over the disc. <IMAGE></p> |
