Abstract:
A sorting system for sorting bulk goods is disclosed. A plurality of sorter elements are guided in a contactless manner along a horizontal track of a stationary guideway. The sorter elements being driven in a contactless manner in the direction of transport. One bulk good is transported on each sorter element, either on one at a time or resting on several sorter elements, from a loading point to an unloading point, where it is loaded and/or unloaded transversally to the direction of transport. The sorter elements carry the load in a suspended manner.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a method and to an apparatus for the controlled transfer of unit loads from a first conveyor onto a second conveyor which is partially projected over by the first conveyor, the transport directions of which conveyors run at an angle with respect to each other. In order to permit controlled transfer of the unit loads in a defined position from the first conveyor onto the second conveyor, it is proposed that a negative pressure which acts on the upper side of the conveyor belt of the second conveyor can be generated below the first conveyor in the transfer region onto the second conveyor.
