Abstract:
1. A modular conveying device comprising: a main conveying means for conveying products in a main conveying direction between an input location and an output location of the main conveying means, wherein the output location of the main conveying means can be swiveled between two first transfer positions arranged vertically spaced apart from each other; a transverse conveying means for accepting the conveyed products that likewise include an input location and an output location, wherein the input location of the transverse conveying means is positioned in one of the two first transfer positions and the output location of the transverse conveying means is positioned in a second transfer position; and a collecting conveying means including an input location and an output location, wherein the output location of the main conveying means is configured to be swiveled between at least one additional first transfer position and the two first transfer positions, wherein each additional first transfer position is positioned in each case, at one input location of an additional transverse conveying means, wherein in each case additional output locations of the additional transverse conveying means are positioned in additional transfer positions arranged vertically to the second transfer position, and wherein the collecting conveying means is configured to be selectively positioned between the transfer positions of the transverse conveying means to accept products temporarily stored on a transverse conveying means.
