AN apparatus individually separates a plurality of dropper bars which are suspended from a dropper supporting rod. A nozzle first blows the dropper bars along the dropper supporting rod to a position at which the dropper bars are to be separated. A lifting device lifts the lower end of a forwardmost dropper bar which is to be separated from the remaining dropper bars, and advances the forwardmost dropper bar along the dropper supporting rod. A slicer than moves the lower end of the dropper bar, lifted and advanced by the lifting device, in the direction of the width of the dropper bar. A separating device receives the dropper bar from the slicer and attracts and holds the lower end of the dropper bar with a magnet. The separating device then separates the received dropper bar from the remaining dropper bars. A shutter mechanism operates in an interlocking relation with the separating device to release the upper ends of the dropper bars one by one.
