A device for reliably sweeping or sorting an article from a main conveyor surface that is positioned above the main conveyor surface and includes a paddle assembly that can be adjusted for moving various different articles from the main conveyor. Methods for moving packaged, wrapped, or small items traveling on a conveyor to a delivery station or off of a main conveyor have a relatively high fail rate. As one of the critical last steps in sorting packages for delivery, the failure rate at this step requires human intervention, can involve delays, and leads to expense. |
