Abstract
Different printed products () are fed by feeding units () and collated in compartments (), wherein the compartments () are conveyed substantially continuously past the feeding outlets () arranged successively in a line, and a printed product () is added through each feeding outlet (). The compartments () have a compartment base () and a transverse wall (), wherein the compartment base () is inclined at least in a feeding region () of a circuit () of the compartments () in a conveying direction and the transverse wall () is upstream or downstream depending on the direction of inclination of the compartments. The compartments () are coupled to a conveying means such that they are rotatable around a substantially horizontal and/or substantially vertical axis. Thus, it becomes possible to maintain the inclination angle of the compartments which they have in the feeding region, in a region () for conveying further, an extraction region () with inclining or declining gradients.
