Abstract

Die Funktionselemente einer Seite des Transportpfades sind auf einer sich vom Transportpfad im Vereinzelungszustand weg und wieder zurück bewegbaren und gesteuert angetriebenen Schiebeplatte (7) befestigt. Im Falle einer Störungsmeldung einer Sensoreinrichtung zum Ermitteln von Störungszuständen während des Vereinzelungsprozesses werden die Sendungen (10) den Transportpfad entlang bewegende Transportelemente (15,11) gestoppt und wird die Schiebeplatte (7) zum Öffnen des Transportpfades und nach kurzer Zeit zum wieder Schließen des Transportpfades in die Vereinzelungsstellung bewegt. Nach dem Schließen des Transportpfades nehmen die Transportelemente (15,11) wieder ihren Transportbetrieb auf.
