Abstract:
    The invention concerns an apparatus for transporting articles forming a mass flow from an input device to an output device, including an endless conveying element with a transport run and a return run, the conveying element being guided about at least two rollers designed as a driving and/or deflecting element, which is distinguished in that the transport run can be moved out of a throughflow position in which the transport run exhibits its maximum length, into a discharge position in which the transport run is shortened from the maximum length, and vice versa. Furthermore, the invention concerns an apparatus for filling a subsequent apparatus with rod-shaped articles, in particular a packer, including a filling head with a feed element for transporting articles forming a mass flow, the feed element leading into a chute in the region of an orifice and comprising a lower conveying means which includes two transport elements arranged one behind the other, which is distinguished in that the rear transport element of the lower conveying means, in the main direction of conveying, is designed as an apparatus according to claim 1 to 15. Furthermore, the invention concerns a corresponding method.
