Abstract

A transfer unit includes a first transfer element provided with a first support structure to receive an article, and a conveyor to receive the article from the first transfer element, positioned at a vertical height which is lower than the first support structure and movable along a transport direction. The first transfer element is moved by an actuation device between a receiving station in which the first transfer element receives the article and a storage station in which the first transfer element releases the article onto said conveyor. The transfer unit also includes a rotation unit to rotate the first support structure about a first rotation axis from a support configuration in which the article is supported by the first support structure to a discharge configuration in which the article is free to fall from the first transfer element onto the conveyor.
