Product redistribution apparatus

A product redistribution apparatus, comprising:

• a main conveyor for conveying products in a main conveyance direction between an input location and a delivery location, comprising a buffer device that includes multiple stacked tray levels to receive the products at an input location and to deliver the temporarily stored products at a delivery location, wherein the input location of the buffer device can be positioned at one of the transfer positions, and wherein the products can be pushed out by a pushing means of the buffer device at the delivery location;
• a discharge conveyor to receive the pushed-out products at a first input location and to deliver the products at a delivery location of the discharge conveyor, wherein the delivery location of the buffer device is connected to the input location of the discharge conveyor;
• a loading conveyor to convey the products between an input location and a delivery location, and wherein the delivery location of the loading conveyor can be connected at one of multiple transfer positions to the input location of the buffer device to temporarily store the products on a corresponding tray level;
• wherein the main conveyor is configured to be swivelable, wherein the delivery location of the main conveyor can be swiveled into multiple transfer positions;
• and wherein the delivery location of the main conveyor can be connected to the input location of the loading conveyor at one of the multiple transfer positions of the main conveyor;
• and
• wherein that the product redistribution apparatus comprises a decoupling device including an input location to receive products from the main conveyor at a first transfer position and including a delivery location to deliver the products, wherein the delivery location of the decoupling device is connected to a second input location of the discharge conveyor.
