A storage system for products using supporting units, consisting of a staging containing a number of storeys, on one side of the staging at least one supply-conveyor and at least one entry elevating device, which is movable in a longitudinal direction along the staging, as well as a device for placing the supporting units into the staging and on the other side of the staging at least one exit elevating device, which also is movable in a longitudinal direction along the staging and at least one exit conveyor. According to the invention, in each storey (4) of the staging (2) one or more conveyors (5) are mounted which are connectable to both sides of the staging with one driving device (11), which is movable vertically on the entry elevating device (9) and the exit elevating device respectively.

Storage system for products using supporting units

Storage system for products using supporting units, comprising a staging containing a number of storeys, on one side of the staging at least one supply-conveyor and at least one entry elevating device, which is movable in a longitudinal direction along the staging, as well as a device for the input of the supporting units into the staging and on the other side of the staging at least one exit elevating device, which also is movable in a longitudinal direction along the staging and at least one exit conveyor. In each storey of the staging one or more step conveyors are mounted, which at both sides of the staging are connectable with a single driving device, which is movable vertically on the entry elevating device and the exit elevating device respectively.

A horizontal supply conveyor carrying a board with a number of loaves of cheese thereon is mounted for vertical adjustment in front of the open ends of a multiplicity of horizontal guideways disposed in superimposed and in juxtaposed relationship. By selective adjustment and selective operation of the conveyor the board is moved into registry with a selected one of said guideways whereupon a pushing device pushes the board from the conveyor and into the guideway in which similar loaded boards are stored the last one of which is thus discharged from the rear of the selected guideway onto another conveyor to be moved back to the first conveyor by transporting means which include a device for turning over the loaf. The walls separating adjacent units constitute ducts for the supply and discharge of air to the guideways accommodating the loaves of cheese.
