Pivot wheel sorts using two sets of wheels that pivot independently and in sequence at each diverter, allowing for smaller gaps between products. Adequate product spacing is required to ensure that the divert station has had time to cycle. Product skewing must be provided to position cases for diversion; right hand, left hand or two-sided diverts are available.
