Roach Model SD60 Skewed Wheel Diverter

Features:

• Both the skewed wheel diverter and the roller diverter can be used as a means of diverting from the narrow belt sorter
• Skewed wheel diverters consist of a high-speed belt transportation conveyor with two rows of skewed wheels built into the belt unit at each divert point
• When a carton reaches the divert destination, wheels raise above the conveying surface of the belt and steer the product off the sort line
• 30°, 45°, and 90° diversion angles
• Wheels are driven by elastomer bands and run slightly faster than the sorter to provide additional driving force when diverting
• A pop-up skewed wheel sorter is a reliable method of high speed diverting
