Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2011014969A1] The invention relates to a device for folding printed products (10), comprising an input conveyor (100) and a folding assembly, through which the printed products (10) run in a conveying direction (F1), which corresponds to the direction of the fold to be produced. The input conveyor (100) comprises a homogenizing apparatus (120), which is able to homogenize the printed products (10) in such a way that the printed products (10) are fed to the folding assembly at a predetermined frequency. The homogenization allows an overlapping formation to be folded without first being separated. Furthermore, the frequency can be used in additional stations that are integrated in the folding direction. Thus, the functionalities of the folding device are expanded compared to known devices and the range of applications is enlarged.
