Abstract

L'invention concerne un dispositif d'empilage de produits destiné à former des piles (12a-k) de produits à partir de groupes (14 a-k) de produits (16 a-k) alimentés à plat et/ou dans un agencement (64 a-k) dans lequel les produits se chevauchent en biais pendant un mouvement de transport (28 a-k), comprenant au moins deux moyens de butée (18 a-k) comportant des surfaces d'appui de pile (20 a-k) qui permettent de former les piles (12 a-k) de produits. Selon l'invention, une unité de regroupement (22a-k) sert à former au moins une pile (12 a-k) de produits en réduisant un écartement (24 a-k) entre des surfaces d'appui de pile (20 a-k) situées en face l'une de l'autre dans une direction (26 a-k) de groupe de produits d'au moins deux moyens de butée (18 a-k).
