<p>A device for buffering products comprises a plurality of accumulating conveyors (1), each having a supplying place (2) for receiving products and a discharging place (3) for discharging products. The device further comprises an adjustable diverter (4) which is connectable to a supplying conveyor (S) for supplying the products in at least one flow. The diverter (4) is connected to a selected one of the supplying places (2) of the accumulating conveyors (1) for conveying the flow of products to the corresponding accumulating conveyor (1). The device further comprises a merging member (5) which is connectable to a discharging conveyor (D) for conveying the products in at least one flow. The merging member (5) is connected to a selected one of the discharging places (3) of the accumulating conveyors (1) for conveying the products from the corresponding accumulating conveyor (1) to the discharging conveyor (D). The accumulating conveyors (1) form at least a helical path, which results in a compact device.</p> |
