The invention relates to a device and a method for supplying and processing packages arranged on carrier elements, especially drinks packages, using a continuous conveyor belt on which the carrier elements are arranged. The aim of the invention is to be able to further process carrier elements which are continuously supplied by means of a conveyor belt in a processing station in a reliable manner with few technical resources. To this end, two advancing rollers are provided to the right and to the left of the conveyor belt, the rotational axes thereof being perpendicular to the plane of the conveyor belt; two rotating clock belts are provided in the running direction of the conveyor belt, behind the advancing rollers; said clock belts rotate in a plane parallel to the plane of the conveyor belt, and respectively comprise a strand facing the other clock belt; and the strands facing each other run parallel to each other, at a distance corresponding to the width of the carrier elements.
