These systems are particularly beneficial for industries such as manufacturing, logistics, food and beverage and logistics, where efficiency and accuracy are both paramount. By automating this crucial part of the material handling process, you can reduce your costs while also enhancing operational efficiency, and ensuring consistent more product safety during handling.

Our team is on-hand to provide expert consultation and support for you during the early design stages to ensure that your diverting conveyor system meets your exact needs. Whether you are looking to streamline your production process, optimise space in your facility or just make improvements to your product flow, we can tailor a solution that aligns perfectly with your business objectives.

Types of diverting conveyor systems

To achieve peak productivity and efficiency, businesses must control the continuous flow of products through a material handling line. Conveyor diverters and sorting conveyors facilitate product flow using various methods and components, depending on the product type, flow path, and interfacing equipment.

For instance, in situations requiring modularity without complexity, a divert arm serves as an effective, straightforward solution. In more complicated situations you might want to use a larger system. The ideal conveyor diverter or sorting conveyor solution for your business depends on your specific application and product characteristics. MCL’s team of experts can design a custom conveyor diverter or sorting conveyor tailored to your business’s unique requirements.
