Merge and divert modules

Pop-up transfers, skewed-wheel merges and arm diverters that join lines or split them.

Pop-up transfers, skewed-wheel merges and arm diverters that join lines or split them.

Merge and divert modules are the junctions of a conveyor line. A pop-up transfer turns cases 90° onto another line, a skewed-wheel merge joins two lines into one while gapping, and an arm or pusher diverter sends cases to a few side lanes. For a small number of destinations they are the most economical alternative to a sorter.

Typical uses

  • Several pick lines merging into one packing line
  • Outbound split into 2–6 carrier lanes
  • Merging multiple AS/RS aisle outfeeds
  • Reject lanes for exceptions
