  • One advantage of the funding according to the invention is to see that it is a very short in the conveying direction Has construction. For example, a variety of Funds touch each other and are therefore tight can be lined up in succession on a rail. Because every Funding a holding device for holding a Product, for example a printed product, is a very good with the funding according to the invention dense product flow can be promoted. Therefore, also at a low conveying speed a high one Funding density can be achieved. In addition, the funding is very small and very light in weight capacities configurable.
