An apparatus for longitudinally orienting elongated particles, such as wood strands for forming orienting strand board panels, includes a pre-orienting unit with vertically arranged orienting elements, such as discs of a disc roll, a final orienting unit below the pre-orienting unit, and a forming belt below the final orienting unit. The final orienting unit includes plural sheet- metal chutes that are spaced successively along the transport direction of the forming belt and that each include plural side-by-side trough-shaped orienting channels that slope at a slope angle toward the forming belt along the transport direc- tion. The non-oriented wood strands supplied to the pre-orienting unit are pre-oriented by falling through passages thereof, and the pre-oriented strands are then further longitudi- nally oriented as they slide longitudinally along the orienting channels, from which they slide without free-falling onto the forming belt. In an alternative embodiment, the pre-orienting unit can be omitted.
