  • Handling device and method for dividing a main product flow, in particular into at least two product partial flows
    Patent number: 12649631
    Abstract: A handling device for dividing a main product stream (12a; 12b) comprises at least one main stream transport unit (18a; 18b) which includes a main conveyor belt unit and by which the main product stream (12a; 12b) can be conveyed along a main conveying direction (20a; 20b) of the main stream transport unit (18a; 18b). At least one division conveying unit (22a; 22b), which is configured for dividing the main product stream (12a; 12b), includes at least one division conveying element (28a; 28b), which is movable along a division conveying direction (26a; 26b) of the division conveying unit (22a; 22b), running at least substantially perpendicularly to the main conveying direction (20a; 20b), and which includes a division conveyor belt and by which the main product stream (12a; 12b) can be divided.

  • Handling device and method for buffering products, in particular foods
    Patent number: 12637300
    Abstract: A handling device for buffering products includes a transport unit having at least one feed conveying element for conveying products along a main conveying direction of the transport unit. A transverse conveying element is configured as a transverse conveyor belt having a conveying direction that runs transversely to the main conveying direction, and includes a conveying element for conveying products along the main conveying direction after an influencing of a product arrangement by the transverse conveying element. The transverse conveying element is arranged downstream of the feed conveying element along the main conveying direction. The handling device includes at least one control or regulation unit for controlling or regulating a drive parameter of the transverse conveying element for influencing a product arrangement on the conveying element. The transverse conveying element is arranged inclined relative to a main conveying plane of the transport unit.
