The present invention provides, in various embodiments, a batch feeder and a method for stocking and gravity conveying of piece goods made of flat material. A feeder pit comprises an upper opening for inputting the piece goods in batches, a lower opening for extraction of the piece goods, and at least two lateral pit delimitations, which are located opposite to one another, for guiding of the piece goods. As carrying structures for supporting the piece goods on one side, that are arranged on top of each other as floors and that protrude into the feeder pit, are formed on at least one of the pit delimitations, the piece goods can be retained alternatingly on the carrying structures in an easy way and move up respectively for each floor.
A batch feeder, comprising a feeder pit for stocking and gravity conveying of piece goods made of flat material in a downward conveying direction, the feeder pit comprising an upper opening for batch-based feeding of the piece goods, a lower opening for extraction of the piece goods, and at least two lateral pit delimitations comprising a first pit delimitation and a second pit delimitation located opposite to one another for guiding of the piece goods,
A method for stocking and gravity conveying of piece goods made of flat material comprising foil cuts or blank bags, comprising inputting the piece goods from above, in batches, into a feeder pit with two lateral pit delimitations comprising a first pit delimitation and a second pit delimitation located opposite to one another, wherein the piece goods are input such that a lateral extension of the piece goods is larger than a clear span of the feeder pit defined between carrying structures formed on the first pit delimitation that protrude into the feeder pit on respective floors and the second pit delimitation located respectively opposite;
