  • Slide sorter pop-up diverting conveyor with transfer rate based on article characteristics
    Patent number: 10358298
    Abstract: This invention relates generally to a conveyor system including a speed control slide sorter system disposed perpendicular to a pass through conveyor wherein the speed control improves efficiency in loading and utilizing available area on the belt and selects the conveyor speed to induce a diverter action according to sensors which detect portions of the irregular shaped packages, parcels, and bags which can be engaged by the pop-up belt at a selected time to slow the conveyor and engage the pop-up transfer conveyor without stopping the conveyor.
