SISTEMA SEPARADOR DE ALAMBRES O VARILLAS LARGOS

摘要

A separating apparatus for nonstraight rods has a transverse conveyor adapted to support a plurality of elongated elements extending generally parallel to one another and is capable of displacing the plurality of elements in an approximately horizontal transport direction transverse to the elements. A second conveyor at the downstream end of the transverse conveyor can displace the elements one at a time in a preferably horizontal transport direction extending longitudinally generally parallel to the elements. A single stationary stop at the downstream end of the transverse conveyor close to one end of the elements has a stop surface extending upward therefrom, facing upstream in the transverse direction, and having an upper end spaced thereabove. A single lifter displaceable upward along the stop surface can lift an element engaged thereagainst up past the upper end of the stop surface where a transverse pusher can receive the element at the upper end from the lifter and deposit the received element in the second conveyor.
