Abstract

Ein Verfahren zum Teilen eines Produktstroms sieht vor, dass eine Vielzahl von Produkten (3) einer kreisförmigen Transportbahn zugeführt wird, ein erstes Produkt (1A, 2A, 3A) der Vielzahl von Produkten (3) aus der kreisförmigen Bewegungsbahn heraus nach innen an einen ersten Teilstrom (A) übergeben wird und ein zweites Produkt (1B, 2B, 3B, 4B, 5B) aus der kreisförmigen Bewegungsbahn heraus nach innen an einen zweiten Produktstrom (B) übergeben wird. Eine Vorrichtung zum Teilen eines Produktstroms (1) umfasst eine um eine Mittelachse (22) drehbare Basis (20) mit einer Außenlinie (24) und einer Innenlinie (26) und mindestens eine an der Basis (20) angeordnete Übergabevorrichtung (30) zum Übernehmen der Produkte (3) des Produktstroms, die in eine erste Position zum Aufnehmen eines ersten Produktes (1A, 2A, 3A) an der Außenlinie (24) und in eine zweite Position zur Übergabe des ersten Produkts (1A, 2A, 3A) an einen Teilstrom (A) an der Innenlinie (26) bewegbar ist.

A method for dividing a product stream provides that a multiplicity of products (3) are fed to a circular transport path, a first product (1A, 2A, 3A) of the multiplicity of products (3) from the circular movement path inwards to a first Partial stream (A) is transferred and a second product (1B, 2B, 3B, 4B, 5B) is transferred from the circular movement path inwards to a second product stream (B). A device for dividing a product stream (1) comprises a base (20) rotatable about a central axis (22) with an outer line (24) and an inner line (26) and at least one transfer device (30) arranged on the base (20) for taking over of the products (3) of the product stream which are in a first position for receiving a first product (1A, 2A, 3A) on the outer line (24) and in a second position for transferring the first product (1A, 2A, 3A) to one Partial stream (A) on the inner line (26) is movable.
