Abstract
A batch conveying unit for a unit for conveying plate-like elements has at least two transport devices adjacent and parallel to one another (13, 14, 16) which are capable of transporting (L) the batches (3, 6) in a longitudinal direction, drive devices for the transport devices (13), and an actuating device for coupling and decoupling a second transport device (14, 28) relative to a first transport device (14, 27), so as to transport (L) a first batch (6) of elements with the first transport device (14, 27) in the longitudinal direction and to leave a second batch (7) of plate-like elements with the second transport device (14, 28) substantially immobile longitudinally when the second transport device (14, 28) is decoupled from the first transport device (14, 27).
