Abstract (en)

[origin: EP0038914A2] Sheet coating apparatus comprises a plurality of bins (32), a belt conveyor system (22) and a distributor device (30) which co-acts with the belt conveyor to direct sheets from the conveyor into selected bins. Each bin includes a sheet guide (58) which extends towards the conveyor but only co-acts therewith at the diverted portion. These guides ensure positive guidance of the sheets into the bins.
