Abstract
The first conveyor consists of a driven conveyor belt with tightener and pressure piece (4,5) pressing the conveyor belt (1), depending on the size of the piece of goods (13), against the second conveyor in the form of a fixed, inflexible wall slide plate (3). When the conveyor belt is placed against the fixed wall, an air gap (14) of between 5 and 10 millimetres long is formed between the two conveyors. Openings in the top and bottom of the conveyor arrangement, between the conveyor belt and the fixed wall, contain and discharge the piece goods. ADVANTAGE - Piece goods of differing sizes are reliably conveyed at high speed by the compact steep conveyor.
