<p>A conveyor system (10) and a method of feeding at least two flows of articles onto a main conveyor (13) of the conveyor system. The at least two flows of articles are conveyed along an individual supplying conveyor (11, 11a, 11b), and the method comprises the steps of transferring each flow of articles being conveyed along the supplying conveyors (11, 11a, 11b) onto a feeding conveyor (12), and thereby merging the two flows of articles into one flow of articles on the feeding conveyor (12). Thereafter, the flow of articles on the feeding conveyor (12) is fed onto the main conveyor (13). The conveying direction of the two supplying conveyors (11) is substantially perpendicular to the conveying direction of the main conveyor (13) at the point where the flow of articles on the feeding conveyor (12) is transferred onto the main conveyor (13). The supplying (11, 11a, 11b) or feeding conveyor (12) may comprise a belt conveyor, and the main conveyor (13) may comprise a cross-belt or tilt-tray conveyor. The main conveyor (13) may be adapted to sort the articles.</p> |
