An out-processing facility is to be provided with which high turn-around rates can be achieved and which is also suitable for the simultaneous processing of goods that are very different in terms of weight and size. Every passage (7) comprises one roller conveyor (8), the rollers or cylinders of which can be rotated via a common drive means (16), whereby each passage (7) i provided with a discrete removal apparatus (4) that is actuatable independent of the other removal apparatus.
