Abstract: A method for storing scanned information concerning a relevant laundry item in a data storage means which is assigned to a carrier holding the laundry item. The laundry item is assigned to a storage means or an intermediate storage means with the carrier comprising its information by a conveying system. The laundry items are sorted by way of their individual information stored on the carriers, moved into corresponding storage sections of the storage means and at the same time are both sorted and formed into laundry batches. The laundry batch then includes laundry items which require a same treatment. The laundry batch can then be supplied, for example, to a continuous-batch washing machine where the laundry items of the laundry batch are washed and, where applicable, subject to further treatments in the manner predefined according to their information. The sorting of the laundry items is automated to a large extent.

Abstract: A star-shaped intermediate conveyor (13) between the feed conveyor (11) and the delivery conveyor (12). The intermediate conveyor (13) has a plurality of radial arms (26), which are fastened to a central part (28) of the intermediate conveyor (13). The radially outwardly pointing arms (26) are rotatable about an axis of rotation (29) of the intermediate conveyor (13). In this way it is possible with any given orientation of the transporting hanger for an arm (26) to be brought under the hanger hook (16) of the transporting hanger. This ensures reliable transfer of a transporting hanger from the feed conveyor (11) to the delivery conveyor (12) under any circumstances in a simple way.
