Abstract
The invention relates to a product stacking device for forming product stacks (12 a-k) of product groups (14 a-k) consisting of products (16 a-k), which lie flatly and/or are brought into a shingled product arrangement (64 a-k), during a transportation movement (28 a-k). The product stacking device comprises at least two stop means (18 a-k) with stack contact surfaces (20 a-k), which are provided in order to form the product stack (12 a-k). A merging unit (22 a-k) is provided for forming at least one product stack (12 a-k) by reducing a spacing (24 a-k) between stack contact surfaces (20 a-k) of at least two stop means (18 a-k), said stack contact surfaces lying opposite one another in a product group direction (26 a-k).
