When the receiving end of the second conveyor is below the level of the lower accelerating rollers the workpieces are rotated 90 degrees away from their original endwise advance by the action of the upper accelerating roller that has drive means for driving it at a higher speed than the other accelerating rollers. Flight bars rotating around with the second conveyor running faster than the second conveyor are provided to bunch the workpieces into abutting groups of a predetermined size for entry in packaging machine.
