Installation for the processing of piece goods

Installation for processing piece goods, the installation comprising:

• at least one processing device (1) with at least one entrance for products (20) to be processed and at least one outlet for processed products (20)
• and at least one of a supply unit (10.1) and a removal unit (10.2),
• wherein the supply unit is arranged at the entrance of the processing device (1) and comprises means for supplying and clocked positioning of products (20) to be processed and,
• wherein the removal unit (10.2) is arranged at the outlet of the processing device (1) and comprises means for clocked taking off processed products (20) and for conveying away the processed products,
• wherein said supply and removal units (10.1, 10.2) are displaceable relative to the processing device (1)
• wherein said supply and removal units (10.1, 10.2) further comprise a closed-in-itself rail track (11) and a plurality of product grippers (40) equipped for traveling along the rail track, for carrying products (20) from a take-over zone (12) through a buffering zone (13) to a delivery zone (14), and for being returned without carrying products from the delivery zone (14) back to the take-over zone (12),
• wherein said supply and removal units (10.1, 10.2) each further comprise a take-over drive and a delivery drive, the two drives being independent of one another, the delivery drive of the supply unit (10.1) driving at least the means for supplying and clocked positioning, and the take-over drive of the removal unit (10.2) driving at least the means for clocked taking-off and conveying-away,
• and wherein the delivery drive of the supply unit (10.1) and the take-over drive of the removal unit (10.2) comprise means for being mechanically coupled to the periphery of the processing device (1) in order to be synchronized and powered by the processing device.
