The 796 Sort Belt is a belt driven diverting conveyor designed for controlled, high rate package sorting in compact footprints. It uses a Trackmate belt supported by machine crowned pulleys to maintain belt tracking and consistent contact through the diverting zone. A fully lagged 8 inch diameter drive pulley with a 1-7/16 inch shaft provides reliable traction, while a crowned 4 inch tail pulley with screw take up allows up to 12 inches of belt adjustment to maintain proper tension. Maximum belt speed is 300 feet per minute, with operating speed dependent on product size, weight, and required sort accuracy.
Product diverting is accomplished through a staging diverter and dual pivoting wheel assemblies with urethane drive bands that are slave driven from the conveyor belt. Dual double acting air cylinders provide controlled actuation using a single solenoid with a 40 PSI air supply, allowing packages to be staged prior to diverting for consistent placement. The conveyor supports 30 degree and 45 degree diversion angles, includes a 2-1/2 inch diameter nose bar pulley for smooth discharge, and incorporates safety pop out rollers at both ends. With sorting rates up to 75 sorts per minute, the 796 Sort Belt is well suited for automated sortation applications requiring repeatable performance and straightforward mechanical integration.
