By means of a belt diverter the transport unit is pushed over at a right angle to the conveying direction, ending up on a parallel conveyor line at the right or left side.

Diversion is carried out by lifting the transport unit and pushing it over to the adjacent line. Depending on the length of the transport units and the characteristics of the bottom side of the belt, the belt diverter is equipped with 2 or 5 belt supports.

The belt diverter may be retrofitted without problems into an existing live or accumulation roller conveyor.
