ABSTRACT:
A conveying unit with accumulation of containers (6), especially of bottles, includes an accumulation table (2) equipped laterally with guide rails (12, 13) and composed of a juxtaposition of at least one feed conveyor (9) and one accumulation conveyor (10), the containers (6) being routed onto this table (2) at its upstream end via at least one feed transporter, and being discharged on the downstream end via at least one discharge transporter. The unit is characterized in that at least one of the guide rails (12, 13) is equipped with a transverse offset (12a,13a), composed of a segment of the guide rail (12, 13), with an amplitude (14) of between 0.2 and 0.8 times the diameter D of a container (6) and offset relative to the longitudinal axis (15) of the guide rail (12, 13) by a distance corresponding to the amplitude (14).
