Separation and transfer method and apparatus

摘要

A transfer device for books, inner books, newspapers, stacks or papers or similar products that are fed to a distribution point in a product stream on a high speed conveyor which includes a rotationally driven accelerator/decelerator. The speed of the accelerator/decelerator is controlled in such a manner that the product to be distributed is first accelerated to separate it from the next succeeding product in the product stream and the product is then controllably slowed so that it may be stopped at the distribution point without damage.
