<p>An apparatus for the individualization and controlled discharge of discrete objects presented in bulk form comprises a supporting surface (90) adapted to support objects in bulk form, a suction device (80) adapted to engage and grip any object contacted, means for controlling said suction device so that any object engaged may be released when appropriate, and means (49,102,103) for manipulating said suction device so that it may be lowered to a position proximal to said supporting surface and elevated to an elevated position, and so that it may be displaced in a direction along said supporting surface to various positions, said positions including a release position, from which an object engaged by said suction device may be released by appropriate control of said suction device to be collected by appropriate means for collecting and discharging individualized objects. The invention also concerns a method for the individualization and controlled discharge of discrete objects presented in bulk form, a method for determining physical data of discrete objects, a method for the classification of discrete objects according to the physical data determined, and the use of the apparatus to individualize comestible objects, such as pieces of fish, fillets of fish or fillets of frozen fish. <IMAGE></p> |
