Abstract
A method and a device are provided for automatically supplying packages, that have been sorted by type, to a column stacker, preferably in a sorting system. The device has at least one supply path () on which the packages, which have been sorted by type, are automatically supplied to the column stacker () individually and chaotically distributed in partial stacks. The invention proposes that at least two packages (T, T) or partial stacks of packages (T, Tor T, Tor T, Tor T, T)—as long as said partial stacks are not already randomly present on the supply path ()—of the same height disposed one directly behind the other be combined with the aid of a package registerbefore being supplied to the column stacker () simultaneously.
