Hytrol’s ProSort 400 is a heavy duty sliding shoe sorter designed for high speed applications where product diverting needs to be both positive and gentle. Products are transported on anodized aluminum slats where at a predetermined location, divert shoes move diagonally across the conveyor to push the product onto a take-away conveyor. The ProSort 400 may be configured for diverting products to the right hand or left hand side of the sorter. Also it may be configured for diverting at 30 degrees where close divert centers are important or 22 degrees where high speed is required.
