<p>Lithographic plates (S) are transported from an input chute (2) onto which they are released from an overhead conveyor (1) to an outlet (20) at a lower level by a rotary shelf device (10) in which a series of plate trays (16) travel with endless chains (13, 13 min ). The lithographic plates are fed onto successive plate trays (16) by a belt conveyor (4) onto which the plates are directed from the chute (2). The plate trays (16) are upwardly inclined away from the chains (13, 13 min ) during the downward movement of the trays from a position adjacent the belt conveyor (4) to the outlet (20).</p> |
