Abstract

A sorting conveyor system comprising a primary conveyor extending along a conveying plane and configured with an item loading location and a plurality of unloading locations extending along the conveying plane, and at least one sorting bridge configured with an item sorting mechanism. The item sorting mechanism is configurable for displacing in four distinct orientations, wherein the first displacement orientation is associated with displacing the item sorting mechanism along the conveying plane. The second displacement orientation is associated with controlling passages of an item through the sorting bridge, the third displacement orientation is associated with controlled unloading of an item at an unloading location, the fourth displacement orientation is associated with controlling an impact angle of the item sorting mechanism with an item.
