VERTICAL DIVERTER

Vertical Selector Switch

Our Vertical Selector Switch is used to switch Pans, Lids, Trays,
Baskets or Products from one Conveyor Line into two or three
superposed (same vertical plane) receiving lines. This type of
switch is generally used when the selection of the receiving
conveyor lines is made prior to the start-up of the production,
generally the switching is not possible while running.

The switch consist of one (1) Switching Frame into which is
mounted a conveyor with an extended tail shaft, acting as the pivot.
The switching is done by a pneumatic cylinder mounted under or
over the conveyor. The conveyor is not included and should be
selected for the specific application.
