Conveying Device, System for Stacking Filled Bags, and Method for Stacking Filled Bags

A system for stacking filled bags comprising

• a feeding station through which filled normal bags can be fed into a conveying path for conveying the filled normal bags from the feeding station to a stacking area,
• a conveying device, which is arranged at the feed station so that at least part of the conveying path is formed by a conveying unit of the conveying device,
• and a stacking unit which is arranged on the conveying device and by means of which a bag stack can be created,
• wherein
• the conveying device has a supply unit, from which filled special bags can be fed into the conveying path, so that in the stacking area the bag stack can be created from filled normal bags and filled special bags.

A method for stacking filled bags to a bag stack, comprising the following steps:

• introducing filled normal bags into a conveying path for conveying the filled normal bags from a feeding station to a stacking area,
• conveying the filled normal bags along a part of the conveying path to the stacking area by a conveying device,
• forming a first layer of at least two rows of filled normal bags in the stacking area,
• forming at least one second layer of at least two rows of filled normal bags on said first layer,
• wherein
• at least the following steps are foreseen:
• inserting at least one special bag into the conveying path,
• forming a special layer from at least one special bag in the stacking area.
