Abstract

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Einrichtung (1) mit einem Greifer-Förderer (2) und einer Wegfördervorrichtung (4) sowie Mittel zum Transferieren von durch den Greifer-Förderer (2) zugeführten flächigen Produkte (7) an die Wegfördervornchtung (4) unter Ausbildung einer Schuppenformation (12), wobei die Einrichtung einen Transferbereich (13) ausbildet, in welchem der Greifer-Förderer (2) über der Wegfördervornchtung (4) angeordnet ist. Dem Greifer-Förderer (2) sind im Transferbereich (13) wenigstens zwei, vorzugsweise wenigstens drei, in Förderrichtung (FG) hintereinander in Serie und voneinander beabstandet angeordnete sowie einzeln ansteuerbare Produktfreigabevorrichtungen (6a, 6b, 6c) zum individuellen Freigeben der Produkte (7) zugeordnet.

Figure imgaf001
The invention relates to a device (1) with a gripper conveyor (2) and a removal device (4) and means for transferring by the gripper conveyor (2) supplied flat products (7) to the Wegfördervornchtung (4) to form a Scales formation (12), wherein the device forms a transfer area (13), in which the gripper conveyor (2) over the Wegfördervornchtung (4) is arranged. The gripper conveyor (2) are in the transfer area (13) at least two, preferably in the conveying direction (F G ) in series and spaced from each other and individually controllable product release devices (6a, 6b, 6c) for individual release of the products ( 7).
