Abstract:
A modular transfer system with a primary flow system and a diverter system that is repositionable along a track 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 that is repositionable along the track system between the infeed side and the pass-through side by attachment within one or more channels.

Claim (Index 8):
A modular conveyor system comprising:\n a frame having a first end and a second end; a main belt comprising a plurality of hingedly-connected belt modules, each of the plurality of belt modules comprising a body and a plurality of spherical balls, the spherical balls having an upper portion that protrudes above an upper surface of the body and a lower portion that protrudes below a lower surface of the body, the spherical balls configured to rotate relative to the body; a main belt drive unit configured to drive the main belt in a first direction at a main belt speed, the main belt drive unit comprising a motor and a drive roller, the drive roller engaged with the main belt at the first end of the frame; and a filler sheet positioned at least partially underneath the main belt such that the filler sheet contacts the protruding lower portion of the spherical balls and the relative movement of the main belt and filler sheet causes the spherical balls to rotate; wherein an article conveyed over the filler sheet by the main belt in the first direction is in contact with the upper portion of the spherical balls and is conveyed in the first direction at a conveyance speed, the conveyance speed being about twice the main belt speed.
