Sortation is the process of identifying items on a conveyor system & diverting them to specific destinations.  Sorters are applied to different applications depending upon the product & the requested rate.

The purpose of this conveyor is to transfer parts from one system to another. This particular conveyor took oil filters as they exited from a drying oven off a pedestal & deposited them onto the infeed conveyor of a cartoning & case packing system. This type of transfer conveyor could also be used to remove parts from a puck.
