  • the space for the items to be added manually during transport to the deliverers is filled by a filling element for fixing the items.
  • the separation cards are colored according to the areas of the distribution line.
  • the machine-sorted items 4 are fed to the delivery person or to a person at the delivery office with minimal transport volume, which allows the manual addition of only manually editable items in an efficient and ergonomic manner.
  • separation cards 3 are automatically added to the automatically loaded in a distribution order in sections 2 of a section conveyor belt 1 by a sorter shipments 4. This is done by the separating cards 3 are placed before the sorter by means of a device, as described in DE 198 29 484 C1, only without reading device and buffer lines at the bottom of the sections. If certain areas of the distribution line are to be identified by colored separation cards, so are several pile shots with separating devices (a batch receptacle for each color) as shown in DE 198 29 484 C1.
  • separation cards 3 it is also possible, of course, to place the separation cards 3 after the programs 4 on the section conveyor belt 1 at the top.
  • An additional possibility may be to shoot the separation cards in the collection station at the right time in addition to the shipments 4 in the collection container 5 as a separation between the broadcasts for the Verteilhalteck.
  • a separation card 3 can also be inserted only after shipments for several delivery points.
  • the separation cards 3 must be adapted to the size of the collecting container 5 and stiff so that they form in the container 5 compartments, between which the sorted consignments are 4.
