ABSTRACT:
A high speed sorting system includes a plurality of induction conveyors capable of depositing cartons sequentially and in a spaced relationship onto a merge conveyor. The merge conveyor includes a pair of angled roller sections which bias each carton toward the center of the merge conveyor for intake onto an alignment conveyor. The alignment conveyor includes a plurality of angled rollers and thereby biases each carton toward one lateral edge of the conveyor. Each carton is then discharged onto a main outlet conveyor which includes a plurality of longitudinally spaced diverter mechanisms. Positioned adjacent each diverter mechanism is a destination conveyor. A control system is provided for proper sequencing of each carton onto the merge conveyor and for operation of the diverter so that each carton may be directed to a preselected destination conveyor.
