Abstract (en)

[origin: EP0834354A1] The sorted goods (23) are arranged in predetermined sequence in at least two partial rows (22,32). Pick-up elements (12) are moved in succession along a conveyor path past transfer devices (20,30) arranged along the conveyor path, with the number corresponding to the number of partial rows. The pick-up elements move past the transfer devices in a time sequence determined by their transport along the conveyor path to selectively transfer an article. A control device operates the transfer devices in a time sequenced matching the timed sequence of the pick-up elements passing the transfer devices so that the articles of all rows are arranged in the pick-up elements according to the predetermined sequence of rows. Each transfer device has a buffer position.
