Abstract

A method and a device for creating a product stream of product units in a predefined sequence. The device includes a first conveying device with a grouping stretch for creating a cycled product stream of product units from fed products, in a predefined sequence. The device also includes a conveying-away device for conveying away the product units in the predefined sequence in a cycled product stream. The device further includes a bridging device that is designed such that product units amid the bridging of a conveying stretch section of the conveying-away device can be fed to the conveying-away device in a temporally successive manner and thus be sorted into the predefined sequence of product units.
