Abstract:
1. An apparatus for forming a bundle of rolled bars, comprising bar conveying means, an inclined plane device for forming a layer of bars and bar accumulation means, wherein the inclined plane device comprises a plurality of support elements, arranged parallel to each another and defining a first plane inclined by an angle with respect to a horizontal direction, and adapted to receive a predetermined number of bars defining the layer of bars on said first plane from said bar conveying means, handling means for translating the inclined plane device from a first maximum advancement position distal from the conveyor means to a second maximum retraction position proximal to the conveyor means to unload the layer of bars onto the accumulation means, at a speed such to prevent the bars resting on said supporting elements from being dragged, and wherein the bar accumulation means comprise first containing elements to contain the layer of bars when the inclined plane device is in the first maximum advancement position and has an end close to said first containing elements.
