ABSTRACT:
A modular positive drive, high-speed response, diverting conveyor unit, which includes a support structure for continuously driving the rollers. There is a main direction control device for operating the drive apparatus to drive the rollers to convey selectively in a forward and reverse direction. There is a support frame and a mounting structure carried on the support structure for slidably supporting the support frame; a dynamic roller conveyor has parallel sets of raised and laterally spaced flights and a drive chain section; a drive system mounted on the support frame continuously drives the roller conveyor; a transverse direction control device operates the drive system to drive the roller conveyor to convey selectively in the left and right directions; an actuator mounted on the support structure moves the support frame selectively up to insert the flights interstitially of the rollers to divert the conveyed goods from the main direction and down to withdraw the flights and allow the goods to continue in the main direction.
