Abstract (en)

[origin: FR2783442A1] The conveyor container multiple object technique has a continuous container set (G) holding packets vertically and moving along a conveyor line with a lower conveyor belt (S). Each conveyor container has a lower V-shape section. Prior to packet conveyor container loading, a threshold (1) is established. Initially, packet loading is into the V-shaped section. If more than one packet is present (T), then as the conveyor belt comes into play on the base of the packets, the excess packets are separated out and multiple packet loading is avoided.
