The invention relates to a method for operating a processing system (1), in which product units (20) of different formats are processed, said processing system containing a plurality of processing devices (2, 3, 4, 5), which are arranged one after the other in a processing line. In the event of a format changeover, certain component arrangements arranged in the processing system (1) must be adapted to the new product format. In the event of an upcoming format change, a gap in the conveyed goods is generated while the conveying operation is maintained, wherein said gap in the conveyed goods runs through the processing system (1) along the processing devices (2, 3, 4, 5). As soon as the gap in the conveyed goods runs through a component arrangement to be adapted to the new format, the format is changed over at said component arrangement while the gap in the conveyed goods runs through said component arrangement. In this way, the product format can be changed in the processing system (1) without interrupting the conveying operation. |
