Fives Swiveler Wheel Diverter Review Summary
Wheel diverters are a cost-effective step up from manual sorting. The Swiveler diverts or merges up to 6,000 parcels per hour, including small items, on lines up to 1,260 mm wide, and handles cartons, flats and polybags up to 50 kg while keeping them aligned. It runs in both directions, so the same unit can serve inbound and outbound sorting, and each unit has its own PLC, which simplifies retrofits into existing conveyor lines. Fives offers several swiveler types for different rates.
Pros
Up to 6,000 per hour
Bidirectional
Low cost
Easy retrofit
Cons
Lower rate than loop sorters
Item limit 50 kg
Who It Is For
