ABSTRACT:
Randomly delivered parcels are singled and/or sorted with a central separator which receives a random stream of parcels from a first conveyor. The parcels are removed in single file from the central separator with a second conveyor. The central separator has a semicircular belt curve with a conveyor belt incoming at an incoming-side curve radius and outgoing at a diametrically opposite, outgoing-side curve radius. The first conveyor discharges the parcels randomly into the semicircular belt curve. The second conveyor for removing singled parcels adjoins the belt curve at the outgoing-side curve radius and at a periphery of the belt curve. A return device returns to the belt curve any parcels not directly removed from the belt curve in singled condition. The return device is disposed adjacent the diametrically opposite curve radii and adjacent the second conveyor.
