DEVICE FOR TRANSFERRING TWO-DIMENSIONAL PRODUCTS ONTO A TRANSPORTATION DEVICE

摘要

A device for transferring segregated flat-shaped products includes a transfer device and a transport device by which the products transferred from the transfer device are further transported along a transport path. The transport device includes a moveable transport surface having suction openings communicative with a vacuum container. The transfer device includes a roll arranged transverse to the transport path and having suction orifices arranged about a circumference thereof. The roll has internal channels having openings in opposed axial end faces of said roll which are communicative with the suction orifices. Vacuum chamber members are disposed axially at the opposed end faces of the roll which is rotatable relative to the vacuum chamber members. Each of the vacuum chamber members has a concentric grove and a ventilation channel which correspond to the openings of the internal channels. The concentric grove is connected with a vacuum conduit and the ventilation channel faces the transport device and is connected with the atmosphere.
