The invention relates to a conveying device for shock-sensitive products, comprising a belt conveyor with at least one individual compartment for receiving at least one product, an upward-facing belt conveyor section and a downward-facing belt conveyor section, and a top deflection mechanism for deflecting the belt conveyor from the upward-facing belt conveyor section to the downward-facing belt conveyor section. The individual compartment is defined by a first surface for supporting a product that is placed therein when said product is conveyed upwards, a second surface for supporting a product that is placed therein when the product is conveyed downwards, and a bottom surface for supporting the product when the belt conveyor is moved across the top deflection mechanism. One problem of such conveying devices is that the products risk being damaged when running through the top deflection mechanism. In order to solve said problem, the bottom surface of the individual compartment is provided with a curvature at least when running through the top deflection mechanism, said curvature being shaped such that a product that is placed in the individual compartment is guided from the first supporting surface to the second supporting surface in such a way when running through the top deflection mechanism that an impact force which is not critical for the product is applied between the product and the second supporting surface. |
