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, a batch of logs is entrapped between conveyor units and then the batch of entrapped logs may be lifted clear of the stream for further processing.
