A sorting device for sorting book blocks is described, the sorting device having a filling station for sorting one or more book blocks into receptacles, a first input conveyor configured to feed book blocks to the filling station, a second input conveyor configured to feed empty receptacles to the filling station, a first output conveyor configured to transfer full receptacles away from the filling station, the filling station comprising a plurality of inserting devices configured to insert the one or more book blocks into the receptacles, wherein the sorting device further includes a control device configured to receive sorting information of the one or more book blocks and to control the inserting devices to sort the one or more book blocks into the receptacles using the sorting information.

Sorting device for sorting book blocks

The invention concerns a gathering device () with a revolving body () for the formation of sheet stacks () from individually delivered sheets (). Thanks to a device () for generating a holding force, preferably by electrostatic charging, which is arranged essentially outside the outer surface () of the revolving body (), the sheets () can be secured to the revolving body () without the revolving body () needing to have receiving positions dictated by mechanical means. Therefore, the receiving positions can be adapted as desired to the particular requirements.

Gathering device

An apparatus for winding or unwinding material webs onto or from a winding core ( ) has a bearing device ( ) and a drive device (9) for driving the winding core ( ) that is rotatably mounted in the bearing device ( ). The drive device (9) comprises a drive ( ) and a torque-transmitting device ( ) from the drive ( ) to the winding core ( ). In order to achieve the smallest possible winding-core diameter and, nonetheless, to achieve an adequate winding or unwinding speed, the torque-transmitting device ( ) comprises a toothed-belt reduction gear mechanism ( ).
