Abstract
The invention relates to a belt buffer for a product conveying device which conveys products ( 13 ) from a production facility by means of conveyor belts ( 1 , 2 ) to at least one further processing facility. The belt buffer has at least two buffer belts, which store products ( 13 ) and are arranged vertically one above the other. The buffer belts have, on the inlet side, a first vertically pivotable belt deflector ( 5 ) for optionally connecting to an inlet belt ( 3 ) and, on the outlet side, a second vertically pivotable belt deflector ( 6 ) for optionally connecting to an outlet belt ( 4 ). The belt buffer can convey the products ( 13 ) through the buffer in a first-in first-out process.
