Castor sorter

A castor sorter is a special form of roller bar. With the roller bar, the discharge device consists of a series of individual rollers that can be lifted out of the conveyor level. These rollers are driven and set at an angle so that they deflect the conveyed goods sideways as they move over them and discharge them into the discharge point. If the conveyed goods are to be discharged on both sides, the rollers must also be designed to swivel. In this case, we speak of a swivel roller sorter or pop-up sorter.
