Abstract
A distributing and collecting device for conveyed products includes a wire conveyor, a conveyance-direction sorting guide, a product-distributing device with a distributing vertical conveyor, a first gate and a second gate. The conveyed articles can be tall, thin articles such as drink cartons. The products are sequentially fed by a supply, vertical conveyor through the conveyance-direction sorting guide over the wide conveyor. The conveyance-direction sorting guide can shift the articles from side to side of the wide conveyor in a direction perpendicular to the conveying direction. The articles are fed by the product-distributing device and distributing vertical conveyor to a row in front of the first gate. When a prescribed number of products fills a row, the product-distributing device will move to fill an adjacent row. Just before all rows are filled, the first gate is opened and the products move over the wide conveyor to the second gate. This second gate can eventually be opened to feed products to downstream processing such as a shrink-packaging machine.
