<p>Apparatus for sorting metal bars by length, has a conveyor on which the bars are arranged longitudinally and conveys the bars both longitudinally and laterally. The conveyor has driven rollers (5) contacted by the bars. Pick-up means (31) pick up and convey laterally, with respect to said conveyor, ends of bars having a predetermined length, thus preventing the longitudinal movement of such bars while bars not of said predetermined length are conveyed longitudinally at least partly past said pick-up means (31) by said conveyor. To avoid increase capacity of the apparatus, and avoid wear, the rollers are oblique rollers (5) whose axis of rotation is at a non-zero angle to the lateral direction of the conveyor, these rollers being, over at least part of their axial lengths, circular cylindrical in shape.</p> |
