Abstract

A transfer unit for transferring articles includes: a first transfer element with a first support structure and a first abutment structure for a first article; a second transfer element with a second support structure and a second abutment structure for a second article; a conveyor adapted to receive said first and second articles from the first and second transfer elements; a rotation unit configured to rotate the first and second support structures about respective rotation axes from a support configuration in which the first and second articles are supported by the support structures, to a discharge configuration in which the first and second articles are free to fall from the transfer elements onto the conveyor. In the support configuration, the support structures are inclined with respect to a horizontal plane so as to ease the movement of the first and second articles respectively towards the abutment structures
