Abstract
A processing line for printed products 18 which comprises a number of component modules 10, 12, 14, 34, 36, 46 which are arranged directly one behind the other in the direction of processing V. The printed products are supplied to the line at sequential locations so that the products are processing and/or combined to form intermediate or end products which are delivered to a removal location. The printed products are conveyed along the processing line by a conveyor 20, 20′. The component modules can be separated from one another, and the conveyor is composed of conveying elements 98 which can be separated when the component modules are separated such that at least one conveying element remains in each of the component modules.
Claims12
A processing line for printed products, having a supply location at which printed products are supplied to the processing line, having at least one further supply location which is arranged downstream of the supply location in the processing direction and is intended for further printed products which are combined in the processing line with printed products which have already been supplied, and at least one processing station for the printed products, a removal location at which the printed products which have been processed and combined to form an intermediate product or end product are guided away from the processing line, and having conveying means for transporting the printed products through the processing line to the removal location, wherein the processing line comprises a number of component modules which can be separated from one another and are arranged directly one behind the other as seen in the processing direction, and a conveyor which is driven by a drive unit and extends continuously, wholly or in part, through at least two of the component modules and can be separated when said component modules are separated, with the result that a section of the conveyor remains in each of these component modules.
