A method for conveying bulk goods by means of a conveying device comprising a conveying channel and at least two conveying elements (266, 269) loosely arranged in the conveying channel, characterized in that the method comprises the following steps: mechanically driving the conveying elements (266, 269) in the conveying direction in a first section of the conveying channel, feeding bulk goods into the conveying channel in a second section of the conveying channel, conveying the bulk goods by moving the conveying elements (266, 269) along the conveying direction in a third section of the conveying channel, wherein in the third section of the conveying channel, the first conveying element is pressed by the second conveying element and/or the bulk goods through the conveying channel in the conveying direction, wherein each of the at least two conveying elements (266, 269) comprises: a first surface element which is spaced from a second surface element substantially parallel to the conveying channel axis, wherein the mean surface perpendiculars of the surface elements (267, 268) are arranged substantially parallel to the conveying channel axis, and wherein the first and/or the second surface element comprises a carrier surface which substantially causes the bulk goods to be conveyed in the conveying device; a strut being arranged substantially parallel to the conveying channel axis and connecting the first and the second conveying element (266, 269) to each other; and a spacer arm connected to at least one of the first and second surface elements (267, 268) and extending away therefrom in and/or contrary to the conveying direction, so that a minimum distance between a pair of directly successive surface elements of the at least two conveying elements is achieved. mechanically driving the conveying elements (266, 269) in the conveying direction in a first section of the conveying channel, feeding bulk goods into the conveying channel in a second section of the conveying channel, conveying the bulk goods by moving the conveying elements (266, 269) along the conveying direction in a third section of the conveying channel, wherein in the third section of the conveying channel, the first conveying element is pressed by the second conveying element and/or the bulk goods through the conveying channel in the conveying direction, wherein each of the at least two conveying elements (266, 269) comprises: a first surface element which is spaced from a second surface element substantially parallel to the conveying channel axis, wherein the mean surface perpendiculars of the surface elements (267, 268) are arranged substantially parallel to the conveying channel axis, and wherein the first and/or the second surface element comprises a carrier surface which substantially causes the bulk goods to be conveyed in the conveying device; a strut being arranged substantially parallel to the conveying channel axis and connecting the first and the second conveying element (266, 269) to each other; and a spacer arm connected to at least one of the first and second surface elements (267, 268) and extending away therefrom in and/or contrary to the conveying direction, so that a minimum distance between a pair of directly successive surface elements of the at least two conveying elements is achieved. a first surface element which is spaced from a second surface element substantially parallel to the conveying channel axis, wherein the mean surface perpendiculars of the surface elements (267, 268) are arranged substantially parallel to the conveying channel axis, and wherein the first and/or the second surface element comprises a carrier surface which substantially causes the bulk goods to be conveyed in the conveying device; a strut being arranged substantially parallel to the conveying channel axis and connecting the first and the second conveying element (266, 269) to each other; and a spacer arm connected to at least one of the first and second surface elements (267, 268) and extending away therefrom in and/or contrary to the conveying direction, so that a minimum distance between a pair of directly successive surface elements of the at least two conveying elements is achieved.
