Abstract
The invention relates to a method as well as to a conveyor-technology device for processing printed products. The conveyor-technology device comprises a guide means and conveyor means which may be moved along the guide means, for conveying printed products which are fed by way of feeders. The guide means is curved in several spatial directions. The conveyor-technology device comprises holding means which serve for the temporary fixing of printed products in a manner such that these at least in regions may be conveyed against gravitational force.
Claims24
A conveyor-technology device for processing printed products, with a guide means and conveyor means movable along the guide means for conveying printed products which are fed by way of feed conveyors, as well as with holding means which serve for the temporary fixing of printed products in a manner such that these at least in regions may be conveyed against the effect of gravity, wherein the guide means is spatially curved and has an essentially helically designed section.
A method for processing printed products with which the printed products to be processed are supplied to a conveyor-technology device and conveyed on this by way of conveyor means and are led into the active region of at least one processing station, wherein they are at least temporarily fixed by way of holding means, wherein the printed products are conveyed along spatially curved guide means, at least temporarily in a helical manner, by way of the conveyor means.
