Abstract:
The apparatus is provided for separating bulk material, in particular in the form of packages, from a bulk material container. The apparatus has a first belt conveyor for conveying the bulk material from a bulk material container, and a downstream second belt conveyor, oriented at an angle about a vertical axis, relative to the conveying direction of the first belt conveyor, for conveying away the bulk material. The first belt conveyor has a plurality of separately actuatable discharging conveyor belts arranged parallel to one another. The apparatus has an electronic control device which is configured to drive the discharging conveyor belts in each case intermittently such that units of the bulk material are each transferred to the second belt conveyor at discrete time intervals and/or distances.

Claim (Index 15):
The apparatus of  claim 13 ,\n wherein the control device is configured:\n to identify a gap on the second belt conveyor when the threshold value is exceeded, and, \n to set one or more further discharging conveyor belts in each case individually in motion such that one or more units of bulk material are transferred onto the second belt conveyor into the identified gap.
