Conveyor arrangement

A conveyor arrangement (1), adapted

• for taking over a conveyed object (9), in particular a postal parcel (9), at a takeover area (A1), in particular from an upstream feed device (7),
• for transferring the conveyed object (9) at a transfer area (A3), in particular to a terminal (4);
• for transferring the conveyed object (9) in a chute area (A2) from the takeover area (A1) to the transfer area (A3),
• wherein the chute region (A2) comprises at least one chute (11, 12) which is inclined downwardly in the conveying direction (F) and on which the conveyed object (9) is conveyed in a gravitationally sliding manner,
• wherein the chute region (A2) comprises a belt conveyor (20) with a conveyor belt (21),
• characterized in
• that the belt conveyor (20) has a holding brake (23) which is adapted to hold the conveyor belt (21) in a stop position, and the holding brake (23) is automatically activated when the belt conveyor (20) is de-energized, wherein the holding brake (23) is maintained in an inactive state by a release actuator (233) that counteracts a braking force so that when the belt conveyor (20) is de-energized, the release actuator (233) releases the braking force, thereby automatically activating the holding brake (23).
