Abstract

A bulk product diverter and system for separating bulk product units into multiple product streams includes a unique conveyor assembly. The conveyor has a plurality of flights wherein the adjacent flights define buckets into which groups of bulk product units are placed. The conveyor conveys each bucket in a downstream direction along a horizontal path, then along a vertical path, then around a turn of approximately 150 degrees. A diverter fence is selectively movable between an open position and a closed position. In the open position the path defines a first gate through which acceptable product units are passed. In the closed position the product units continue around the turn to pass through a second gate.
