Abstract
An automated conveyor sortation and item discharge system for conveying and discharging packages at high speeds. A conveyor assembly includes an elongate crowned conveyor belt (20), which conveys parcels in a longitudinal direction defined across slider beds (18) and across discharge stations. The parcels can take three different routes once they reach the discharge stations. The conveying assembly includes a belt having a deformable surface defined by a soft urethan crowned portion, the crowned portion deforming under the weight of the package when placed thereon, and the deformation being from its undeformed relaxed crowned shape to a deformed shape. The substantially horizontal slider bed is positioned adjacent the deformable belt, the slider belt includes a substantially horizontal planar portion lying in a plane which intersects or lies below the crowned portion of the belt when in the relaxed crowned shape. The soft urethane crowned portion and the deformable belt and the slider bed are configured to combine to support the weight of the package and the cushioned belt is configured to urge the package along the conveying axis while a part of the package is being supported by the slider bed.
