<p>A conveyor diverter system comprises one or more conveyors (20) and components (54) for diverter systems having friction-enhancing outer surfaces comprising friction-enhancing layers (100. The invention provides a solution to the problem of articles being frequently misdiverted. The friction-enhancing layer (100) disposed on the outer periphery (110) of the diverter components (54) comprises grit materials (102) dispersed in a metallic material (104) such that a particular grit surface density is achieved and grit particles (102) protrude above the uppermost surface of the metallic layer (104) within a range of particular distances. <IMAGE> <IMAGE></p> |
