ABSTRACT:
A sorting plant which has a closed rail (3) that forms a loop (2) on which an endless chain (4) of carts is guided. Loading stations (9) for the loading of the carts (5) with piece goods (10), as well as target stations (11) that receive the piece goods (10), are arranged along the rails (3). Each cart (5) has two receptacles (13, 14) that can be individually swiveled about a collective axis and also two separate activation elements to tilt the receptacles (13, 14). Each target station (11) has two cams that can be individually activated to initiate the tilting process. A package (10) is loaded onto the cart (5) at the loading station (9), namely, onto both receptacles (13, 14) of this cart (5) or only one of these receptacles, depending on the size of the package (10). The target station (11) of the occupied receptacle (13, 14), or the occupied receptacles (13, 14 ), are entered into a control device (12). As soon as the cart reaches this target station (11), the receptacle(s) (13, 14) are tilted by activation of the corresponding cam(s). This form of construction provides a higher transport capacity and an increased flexibility of the plant.
