Installation for distributing into at least two files (F2, F3) products initially aligned in a single file, the said installation comprising: a conveyor having an upstream part and a downstream part, the said upstream part being able to convey the said single file of products in a conveying direction at a conveying speed, and the said downstream part being able to convey the said products distributed in the said at least two files (F2, F3), a distribution device, placed between the upstream part and the downstream part of the conveyor, the distribution device comprising a first diverter for offsetting the products transversely to the conveying direction and positioned laterally with respect to the conveyor, the distribution device comprising at least one second diverter for offsetting the products transversely to the conveying direction and positioned laterally with respect to the conveyor and facing the first diverter, the first and second diverters (61, 62) being arranged to act one after the other on the file of products, the first diverter and the second diverter each comprising at least one deflecting element for deflecting at least one product, the first diverter comprising an endless belt exhibiting at least one part arranged obliquely with respect to the conveying direction of the conveyor so as to push the products transversely, the oblique part forming an acute angle with the conveying direction, the angle being open towards the upstream part, and on which the at least first deflecting element able to deflect at least one product is mounted, the second diverter likewise comprising an endless belt exhibiting at least one part arranged obliquely with respect to the conveying direction of the conveyor so as to push the products transversely, the oblique part forming an acute angle with the conveying direction, the angle being open towards the upstream part and on which the at least second deflecting element able to deflect at least one product is mounted, the first and second diverters (61, 62) being arranged as a mirror image of one another and to employ the said at least one first and second deflecting elements on the said conveyor in succession, the installation being characterized in that: the diverters (61, 62) are not motorized but are driven in their movement by pressure from the products on the conveyor which drives them. a conveyor having an upstream part and a downstream part, the said upstream part being able to convey the said single file of products in a conveying direction at a conveying speed, and the said downstream part being able to convey the said products distributed in the said at least two files (F2, F3), a distribution device, placed between the upstream part and the downstream part of the conveyor, the distribution device comprising a first diverter for offsetting the products transversely to the conveying direction and positioned laterally with respect to the conveyor, the distribution device comprising at least one second diverter for offsetting the products transversely to the conveying direction and positioned laterally with respect to the conveyor and facing the first diverter, the first and second diverters (61, 62) being arranged to act one after the other on the file of products, the first diverter and the second diverter each comprising at least one deflecting element for deflecting at least one product, the first diverter comprising an endless belt exhibiting at least one part arranged obliquely with respect to the conveying direction of the conveyor so as to push the products transversely, the oblique part forming an acute angle with the conveying direction, the angle being open towards the upstream part, and on which the at least first deflecting element able to deflect at least one product is mounted, the second diverter likewise comprising an endless belt exhibiting at least one part arranged obliquely with respect to the conveying direction of the conveyor so as to push the products transversely, the oblique part forming an acute angle with the conveying direction, the angle being open towards the upstream part and on which the at least second deflecting element able to deflect at least one product is mounted, the first and second diverters (61, 62) being arranged as a mirror image of one another and to employ the said at least one first and second deflecting elements on the said conveyor in succession, the installation being characterized in that: the diverters (61, 62) are not motorized but are driven in their movement by pressure from the products on the conveyor which drives them.
