See full text

An article sorter is made up of a web defined by a plurality of interconnected, laterally elongated, slats. An upper portion of the web defines a longitudinally extending conveying surface. Each of the slats has a generally planar upper surface forming a portion of the conveying surface and a lower surface opposite the upper surface. A plurality of pusher shoes travel laterally of the conveying surface to laterally displace articles on the conveying surface. A drive assembly is provided to propel the web. The drive includes at least one sprocket and a motor. The motor rotates the sprocket(s). The sprocket(s) engage the lower surface of the slats.
