ABSTRACT:
A conveyorized sorting and distribution system for the handling of packages of documents or other items includes an infeed conveyor in tandem with an inclined conveyor and a plurality of vertically adjustable conveyor divider plates positioned above the infeed and inclined conveyors to divide the conveying surfaces into a plurality of individual sorting lanes. The infeed and inclined conveyor belts have a plurality of longitudinal grooves therein which may be created by and are aligned with the divider plates which extend into said grooves. A conveyor end divider transition section positioned at the end of the inclined conveyor enables the conveyed materials to flow by means by gravity to a distribution transition section that includes a chute for each lane of conveyed materials. The distribution transition section provides for the optimum conveying angle for gravity flow of the conveyed materials and also provides the necessary direction changes to distribute the materials to the desired discharge chute. A plurality of discharge chutes receive the conveyed materials at the end of the distribution transition section and discharges the conveyed materials into receptacles.
