Abstract

The method involves varying the speed of the transport belt (6) independently of the working speed of the processing machine (1) according to a predefined speed profile. The transport belt is stopped and/or started in accordance with a defined acceleration profile when starting or stopping the feeder (4). The belt can be stopped or started with a predefined speed ramp with a continuous profile of speed changes over the period.
