Abstract: A sortation conveyor includes a conveying surface extending in a longitudinal direction and configured to carry an article along a conveying path. The sortation conveyor also includes a pusher element configured to be selectively diverted transversely relative to the longitudinal direction for engaging and diverting the article away from the conveying path. The sortation conveyor further includes a flexible divert guide including at least one compressible member configured to transition between an uncompressed state and a compressed state.

Abstract: A sortation conveyor includes a pair of conveying members defining a conveying surface extending in a longitudinal direction. The sortation conveyor also includes an end cap fixedly secured to respective ends of the conveying members. The sortation conveyor further includes a pusher element selectively moveable across the conveying surface. The pusher element is releasably coupled to at least one of the conveying members or the end cap.

Abstract: A spiral conveyor system is provided to transport a plurality of articles thereon between at least one first level and at least one second level. The spiral conveyor system includes a conveyor assembly having more than one spiral conveyor. Each spiral conveyor defines a conveying surface for transporting the plurality of articles thereon. Each spiral conveyor is coupled with a support in a helical configuration such that each spiral conveyor is interleaved in an alternating configuration with another spiral conveyor about the support. Each conveying surface can selectively move in an inclining direction and in a declining direction such that the conveying surfaces can be moved simultaneously in the same or opposing directions.
