A sorting conveyor for hanger-supported goods with sorting stations on opposite sides of the conveyor including a track, a moving chain supported by the track with a plurality of hanger pendants extending from the chain for transporting the goods, the pendant having an inclined support bar open in a rearward direction for supporting the hangers, each support station having a pick-off rail extending laterally away from the conveyor to a collection point, the end of each pick-off rail being bent normally to form an engaging probe for passing through and engaging the hook of the moving clothes hanger and tripping the hanger from its pendant onto the pick-off rail and actuator means for moving the engaging probe of each pick-off rail into the path of the clothes hanger hook.
Steps
In a sorting conveyor system, it consists of four main steps which are merge step, induction step, sorting step and takeaway step.
Merge
The merge step refers to the combination of different and various kinds ofConveyors like skewed rollers or belts. It consists of multiple infeed lines, and it will lead to the main conveying line where the sorting of items will take place.
Induction
In the induction step, it emphasize on gap control so as to identify the products and sort them accordingly. It can be done by controlling the speed of belts, or tracking the location of the products by using bar code scanners.
Sorting
In the sorting process, various devices like push diverter, deflector, rake puller and pop-up rollers and wheels are used to control and facilitate the direction movement of the products.
