Abstract:
A modular transfer system with a primary flow system and a diverter system. The primary flow system includes a primary flow belt for conveying an article along a primary flow path from an infeed side of the modular transfer system to a pass-through side of the modular transfer system. The diverter system includes one or more diverter belts for diverting an article from the primary flow path towards a divert side of the modular transfer system. The primary flow belt includes multiple movable components contacting the diverter belt. The movable components can have one or more rotational degrees of freedom.

Claim (Index 15):
A modular transfer system comprising:\n a primary flow system comprising a primary flow belt, the primary flow belt configured to convey an article along a primary direction of travel, the primary flow belt being a modular conveyor belt comprising a first lateral side, a second lateral side, and a plurality of balls having three rotational degrees of freedom; a diverter system comprising:\n a first diverter belt configured to divert an article from the primary direction of travel, the first diverter belt contacting an underside of the plurality of balls in a first section of the primary flow belt, the first section extending from the first lateral side of the primary flow belt to the second lateral side of the primary flow belt; \n a first motorized roller unit configured to drive the first diverter belt; \n a second diverter belt configured to further divert the article from the primary direction of travel, the second diverter belt contacting an underside of the plurality of balls in a second section of the primary flow belt, the second section being adjacent to the first section in the primary direction of travel and extending from the first lateral side of the primary flow belt to the second lateral side of the primary flow belt; and \n a second motorized roller unit configured to drive the second diverter belt; and \n a control system configured to operate the first motorized roller unit and the second motorized roller unit independently, thereby diverting articles in the first section independent of articles in the second section.
