Product stand-up device

A product stand-up device for standing up products (11) of a plurality of product columns (20) in stack rows (30), which are each associated with a product column (20), comprising

• a feeding unit (13) for feeding products (11) lying flat in a removal direction, wherein the feeding unit (13) is common to the plurality of product columns (20);
• a plurality of erecting paths (12), wherein, for each product column (20), there is a respective erecting path (12), wherein each erecting path (12) erects the products (11) of the respective product column (20) while the products (11) are moving in the removal direction;
• a plurality of shifting means (21), wherein, for each product column (20), there is a respective shifting means (21) associated with a respective stack row (30), wherein each shifting means (21) moves at least one erected product (11) in the removal direction for producing an accommodating gap for lining up a following product (11) with the stack row (30) of the respective product column (20), wherein each shifting means (21) has a separately controllable driving means (22);
• a plurality of removal transport units (16), wherein, for each product column (20), there is a respective removal transport unit (16), wherein each removal transport unit (16) removes products (11) that are erected in stack rows (30) in the removal direction;
• and
• a plurality of separately controllable linear movement units (23), which move at least the shifting means (21) in a linear manner.
