Abstract
An apparatus for separating packaging units to form product groups moving along a transport plane includes dividing elements that circulate on a linear transporter. Each dividing element has an engaging element that protrudes above the transport plane temporarily and then sinks back below the transport plane. A control cam controls the when and where the engaging element protrudes and sinks.
