摘要:
The invention relates to a method and a device for conveying and grouping individual products (P), comprising the following features: supplying the products (P) by means of a first conveying device (10) in a track (TE) in a first conveying direction (FR1), wherein the products (P) lie at arbitrary distances (Z) one behind the other; grouping the products (P) in the track (TE) by means of a grouping device (30) in such a way that a defined number of products (P) is arranged in a group (PG) with defined distances (A) one behind the other in the track (TE) in the conveying direction (FR1) downstream of the grouping device (30); further conveying of the formed product groups (PG) by means of the first conveying device (10); and transferring the formed product group (PG) to a second conveying device (50) for further conveying in a second conveying direction (FR2) in such a way that the products (P) retain their relative orientation with the defined distances (A) to each other in the product group (PG) and lie substantially in a row adjacent to each other. In a multi-track embodiment, a product matrix (PM) is formed from multiple adjacent product groups (PG), in which matrix the products (P) are arranged in the tracks (TE) one behind the other at defined distances (A) and in rows adjacent to each other interspaced in track intervals (B), wherein the product matrix (PM) is transferred to the second conveying device (50) such that the products (P) retain the orientation relative to each other in such a way that the products (P) arranged adjacent to each other in a row in the product matrix (PM) prior to the transfer, lie, after said transfer, one behind the other at defined distances in the product matrix (PM) in a track (TA) in the second conveying device (50),.

The invention relates to a device and a method for portioning a flow of individual products, having the following device characteristics and method steps: at least one input-side conveying device (10) for continuously supplying individual products (P) on a plane; at least two output-side conveying devices (30; 50) for continuously discharging the products on a respective plane; wherein the planes that are each assigned to the output-side conveying devices are arranged substantially vertically above one another; wherein the input-side conveying device delivers the products to a first of the at least two output-side conveying devices during a first time period and in a continuous or batchwise manner; wherein the input-side conveying device and/or the output-side conveying devices can be adjusted, in particular swivelled, in their position in such a way that the input-side conveying device delivers the products to another of the at least two output-side conveying devices, during a second time period following the first time period and in a continuous or batchwise manner; and wherein the input-side conveying device and the output-side conveying devices, in particular in the form of revolving conveyor bands, each have conveying means (16; 36; 56), in particular in the form of front or rear ends moving in the conveying direction, said ends cooperating in such a way that, during the position adjustment phase of the input-side conveying device and/or of the output-side conveying devices, the products on the input-side conveying device can be supplied in a continuous manner and substantially at consistent distances in relation to one another.
