Abstract

A transporting device includes a housing having a feed opening and a discharge opening defining a transporting direction. The housing has a partial section and a remaining section. A conveyor worm is disposed in the housing, is rotatable about a longitudinal axis and has a smaller pitch in the partial section than in the remaining section. The smaller pitch of the conveyor worm is disposed at a distance from the feed opening, as seen in the transporting direction.
