Disclosed is an assembly line for processing products. The line includes, on one hand, a plurality of consecutive stations for processing the products and, on the other hand, a moving unit for moving the products between the stations within the line, in particular from an upstream station in which the products have just been processed, to a downstream station in which the products must later be processed. The moving unit essentially includes at least one self-contained, self-supported, movable carriage moving on the ground and having the products resting thereon during the movement thereof within the line. Also disclosed is a corresponding implementation method and to a corresponding use of the carriages.

Device for conveying via self-contained carriage

Disclosed is a conveying device including an upstream conveying unit for receiving products from at least one upstream station, an accumulation surface along which the upstream conveying unit circulates, a loading unit for moving the products from the upstream conveying unit to the accumulation surface, a downstream conveying unit for clearing the products, and an unloading unit for moving the products from the accumulation surface to the downstream conveying unit. The downstream conveying unit includes a plurality of independent moving unit receiving the products in receiving zones which are successively distributed from the edge of the accumulation surface opposite the edge along which the upstream conveying unit extends. Also disclosed is a corresponding method.
