Abstract

The invention provides a device for sorting products, comprising bogies which are movable in a direction of transport along a conveying path, which bogies are pivotally interconnected, and supporting platforms comprising a supporting surface for supporting products to be sorted. Each of the supporting platforms includes supporting elements which are movable with respect to an adjacent supporting element for changing the circumference of the supporting platform in question during passage of a bend in the conveying path, which supporting elements include two outer supporting elements which, seen in the direction of transport, are located at the front side and the rear side, respectively, of the supporting platform in question and at least one intermediate supporting element positioned between the outer supporting elements. The device furthermore comprises a supporting device for supporting the supporting platforms on the bogies and a tilting device for tilting the supporting platforms about a tilt axis that extends parallel to the direction of transport. The support of the said at least one intermediate supporting element on the bogies takes place via the outer supporting elements.
