The present disclosure is directed to a method of transferring discrete articles from or to a moving carrier member using a transfer assembly. The transfer assembly comprises a frame defining a rotation axis and a transfer member comprising a transfer surface configured to receive one of the discrete articles. The method comprises rotating the transfer member about the rotation axis and maintaining the transfer surface at a substantially constant minimum distance away from the moving carrier member at the point of discrete article transfer.Cette invention concerne un procédé de transfert darticles individuels depuis ou vers un élément transporteur mobile à laide dun ensemble transfert, ledit ensemble transfert comprenant un châssis définissant un axe de rotation et un élément de transfert comprenant une surface de transfert destinée à recevoir un des articles individuels. Le procédé selon linvention comprend la rotation de lélément de transfert autour de laxe de rotation à une distance minimale sensiblement constante de lélément transporteur mobile au point de transfert des articles individuels.
