Apparatus and method for moving objects

A moving apparatus for objects, the moving apparatus comprising:

• a first moving system comprising at least one first moving belt configured to abut the objects arranged aligned one behind another and in contact along a first advancement direction on an advancement plane, said at least one first moving belt being mobile with intermittent motion in order to move along the first advancement direction at a first speed the objects and to separate the objects in groups of a set number;
• a second moving system comprising a second moving belt arranged to abut the objects, said second moving system being arranged to receive the groups of objects from said first moving system and move the groups separately on a first moving plane, which is coplanar to the advancement plane, with continuous motion at a second speed along a transfer direction that is inclined by an angle with respect to the first advancement direction;
• a third moving system comprising at least one transfer element that is mobile with continuous motion at a third speed along a second advancement direction, which is transversal to the first advancement direction, and is arranged to abut and pick up at least one group of objects at a time from said second moving system and then move along the second advancement direction the at least one group of objects arranged in a row on a supporting plane that is coplanar to the advancement plane and the first moving plane;
• and
• supporting arrangement suitable to support and move said at least one transfer element along a closed curvilinear path having a first operating section along which said at least one transfer element is movable along the second advancement direction.
