Abstract:
Disclosed is a conveyor device for conveying along a conveyor plane, in order to transform a wide flow of products into a downstream single-file flow, including an intake conveyor, suitable for conveying the wide flow, an output conveyor suitable for conveying the single-file flow, an acceleration conveyor positioned between the intake conveyor and the outlet conveyor and including a plurality of conveyor units with a speed gradient, and also including a guide for guiding the products transversely from the intake conveyor to the outlet conveyor and positioned downstream from the flow of products so that the products are moved against same under the effect of the consecutive conveyors. Also disclosed is a corresponding method.

Claim (Index 1):
Conveyor device ( 1 ) in a conveyor plane ( 9 ) for transforming a wide flow of products ( 2 ) into a downstream single-file flow, comprising an intake conveyor ( 3 ) that is adapted for conveying the wide flow, an outlet conveyor ( 4 ) that is adapted for conveying the single-file flow, an acceleration conveyor ( 5 ) that is positioned between the intake conveyor ( 3 ) and the outlet conveyor ( 4 ) and having a number of conveyor units ( 12 ) with a speed gradient, with said device also comprising a guide ( 6 ), for bringing the products ( 2 ) transversely from the intake conveyor ( 3 ) to the outlet conveyor ( 4 ) and positioned downstream from the flow of products ( 2 ) in such a way that the products ( 2 ) are brought against it under the action of successive conveyors,\n the conveyor device further comprising a flexible counter-guide ( 7 ), arranged essentially opposite the guide ( 6 ) in the area of the acceleration conveyor ( 5 ) and forming with said guide ( 6 ) a convergent guide portion ( 8 ) that is oriented toward the outlet conveyor ( 4 ).
