Abstract:
A divider system for diverting objects from an infeed lane into one or more discharge lanes includes a dividing screw set, a discharge screw set, and a diverting mechanism. The dividing screw set conveys a sequence of objects to an output end of the screw set where the objects are divided by rotation of the dividing screw set and outputted alternately to first and second discharge screws of the discharge screw set to form a first series of objects conveyed by the first discharge screw and a second series of objects conveyed by the second discharge screw. The divider system includes a diverting mechanism which can be selectively actuated to divert objects from one discharge screw to the other discharge screw to form a diverted group.

Claim (Index 3):
The divider system of  claim 2 , further comprising:\n a controller; a drive mechanism in communication with the controller; wherein the drive mechanism is actuable by the controller to:\n rotate the second screw set at a rotation speed; and \n drive the first and second discharge belts at a conveyor speed; and \n wherein controller is operable to control the rotation speed and the conveyor speed such that a first conveying force imposed by the respective first and second discharge screws on the respective first and second series of objects is in equilibrium with a second conveying force imposed by the respective first and second discharge belts on the respective first and second series of objects.
