Conveying system

A conveying system, the conveying system including a conveying line and a number of shuttles;

• the conveying line having a first conveying line end and an opposed second conveying line end and a longitudinal conveying line axis extending between the first conveying line end and the second conveying line end, the conveying line including a number of conveying modules, wherein each conveying module includes:
• a circumferentially closed conveying belt, the conveying belt generally extending in parallel with the longitudinal conveying line axis, wherein the conveying belt includes a counter-magnetic member the counter-magnetic member extending substantially along a whole circumference of the conveying belt;
• and
• a drive in operative coupling with the conveying belt to drive the conveying belt with a circumferential speed;
• and wherein each shuttle includes:
• a product interface for operatively coupling with a product to be conveyed;
• and
• a magnetic member;
• wherein each shuttle and each conveying module may be temporarily associated with each other to establish a shuttle conveying module combination, wherein, in a shuttle conveying module combination, the magnetic member of the shuttle and the counter-magnetic member of the conveying belt of the conveying module interact by way of ferromagnetic forces, thereby releasably coupling the shuttle to the conveying belt of the conveying module;
• and
• wherein each conveying module includes a magnetizable attraction bar, the magnetizable attraction bar extending parallel to the longitudinal conveying line axis and in parallel with the conveying belt of the respective conveying module, wherein the magnetizable attraction bar of each conveying module is arranged such that, in a shuttle conveying module combination, the magnetic member of the shuttle is attracted by the magnetizable attraction bar of the conveying module by way of ferromagnetic forces.
