ABSTRACT:
A conveying system splits a stream of articles into three substreams. The system includes an infeed conveyor which conveys articles and aligns their centers of gravity along a central axis. A steering mechanism receives the articles and steers them selectively in one of three directions toward an outfeed conveyor arrangement. The outfeed conveyor arrangement includes a mouth formed by the intersection of three outfeed conveyors arranged to receive articles from the steering rollers. A centrally located one of the outfeed conveyors occupies less than one-third of the transverse width of the mouth, and each of the other two outfeed conveyors occupies more than one-third of the transverse width of the mouth. The steering rollers are turned by a fluid actuated mechanism which comprises two fluid cylinders affixed together in back-to-back relationship.
