Abstract
The loading of one or more multi-track pick-and-place devices with formations of products from an interim store including buffer-storage belts arranged in a number of planes takes place by means of a lifting device arranged at the exit of the interim store. The lifting device has a height-adjustable platform, on which conveyor belts which run transversely to the conveying direction of the buffer-storage belts are arranged. The conveyor belts can be displaced horizontally in the conveying direction of the buffer-storage belts and can be rotated through an angle between 0° and 90°.
