Abstract
A feed station feeds a flow of items along a transport path, in which a path, a path point Wis orthogonal to the position of a first transport roller, a path point Wis orthogonal to the position of a sensor, and a path point Wis orthogonal to a second transport roller. A distance between Wand Wis smaller than the minimum length of the flat items and is greater than or equal to a distance between Wand a path end point Wend. A distance between Wend and an intake point W-Wend of the subsequent goods processing apparatus is much smaller than the W-Wend distance. A transport velocity distance between the separated flat items at the start of the transport path is controlled to a minimum distance and is always the same size when the items leave the feed station.
