APPARATUS AND PROCESS FOR SUPPLYING PRINTED PRODUCTS TO A PROCESSING SECTION

摘要

An apparatus and method are disclosed for supplying printed products to a preferably continuously operating processing section with a plurality of stations. The stations may be feeding stations and each feeding station is assigned a buffer. Each buffer is provided with an arrangement for discharging printed products onto the processing section and can be charged via a mobile supply device. The supply device is designed for the transportation of a storage unit (i.e. a reel) containing a number of printed products. The supply device includes drive and conveying arrangements for the sequential charging of the buffers at a predeterminable conveying speed. The conveying speed is greater than the discharge speed at which the printed products are transferred from the buffers onto the processing section.
