A procedure and apparatus for separating batches of logs from a continuous stream of logs on a belt, chain or other type of conveyor consists, according to the present invention, of two or more conveyor units with the batching operation taking place in gaps between the conveyor units. Current methods and devices require supervision and an operator to control the operation, e.g. via push buttons. The procedure and apparatus of the invention solves that problem in that the gaps are bridged by blocking means, limiter means are pushed up through the stream of logs and then the batch of logs entrapped between the blocking means and the limiter means may be lifted clear of the stream for further processing. |
