3 Model: Shoe Sorter The BSC Shoe Sorter is a slat conveyor with movable shoes that slide laterally on the slats when diverted by rails below the conveying surface. The shoe sorter is used for high-speed, high-volume primary sortation, and is optimized for conveyance of cartons and totes.
As shown in Figure 2 the stickers where the two beds splice together both contain Match: 1. • The Piece field defines the bed section number within the mark. • The flow refers to the direction of product flow along the conveyor system.

The sorter must be level front-to-back, side-to side, and all sections must be aligned straight to within the tolerances specified in step 3. Misalignment can cause noisy operation and/or damage to the chain, bearings, and slats. Installation and Mai ntenance Manual: Shoe Sorter Published September 2020 Rev. B...
The bearing rail splice can also be used for pulling sections together (aligning) left-to- right. Ensure the section splice bolts are loose enough to allow movement before pulling the sections together. Installation and Mai ntenance Manual: Shoe Sorter Published September 2020 Rev. B...
The critical dimension (1 3/8” in Figure 6) is measured between the face of the divert rail and the inside of the spur frame, perpendicular to the divert rail. This measurement will locate the spur correctly on both 30° divert and 22.5° divert sorters. Installation and Mai ntenance Manual: Shoe Sorter Published September 2020 Rev. B...
The provided adjustment travel is intended for optimizing the spur location relative to the divert rail. Moving the spur a large distance may cause problems diverting large packages, depending on the system layout. 1 3/8” 2” Figure 6-Typical Spur Positioning Installation and Mai ntenance Manual: Shoe Sorter Published September 2020 Rev.

2. The chain is shipped and tagged in matched pairs (right and left) a. Right and left sides of the sorter are determined by facing in the direction of product flow. Installation and Mai ntenance Manual: Shoe Sorter Published September 2020...
8. Attach ropes to the free end of the chain to help pull the chain through the catenary (force should be transmitted through the drive sprocket; the ropes are to correctly guide the free end). Installation and Mai ntenance Manual: Shoe Sorter Published September 2020...
5. Ensure the proper orientation and position of the shoe. See Figure 9 and note that the flow arrow must be oriented in the direction of flow. Installation and Mai ntenance Manual: Shoe Sorter Published September 2020 Rev. B...
Ensure that all spring clips are fully latched and secure. DO NOT USE any spring clips that are visibly bent or deformed. If the spring clips are not secured properly, the slat may be thrown out of the sorter during operation. Installation and Mai ntenance Manual: Shoe Sorter Published September 2020 Rev. B...

7. After adjusting the nosebar, retension the knife edge belt to the correct running tension (until the measurement between the marks reads 25-5/8”). a. See Figure 13 for location of the tensioner. The belt tensioner is indicated by note flag Installation and Mai ntenance Manual: Shoe Sorter Published September 2020 Rev. B...
Ensure that the E-stop for the AC motor is operational prior to running the conveyor. The E-stop may be required to quickly disconnect power to the AC motor to preserve the life of the belt for tracking purposes. Installation and Mai ntenance Manual: Shoe Sorter Published September 2020 Rev. B...
When initially tracking the belt, ensure that the belt does not ride on a side frame or contact the timing belt from the motor as the snub roller is adjusted to track the belt. This can damage the belt. Installation and Mai ntenance Manual: Shoe Sorter Published September 2020 Rev. B...
3. Verify the correct positioning of the discharge transition assembly by manually advancing the slats to ensure there is no contact between the slats and the discharge assembly nosebar. Installation and Mai ntenance Manual: Shoe Sorter Published September 2020 Rev. B...
6. Verify that the prox sensor detects the gate when it is in its “set” state, and turns off when the gate is tripped. (The prox sensor should be set approximately 0.08” away from the tab on the gate.) Installation and Mai ntenance Manual: Shoe Sorter Published September 2020...

(typically deposited at the drive and tail). This discharge will reduce in volume once the grease has been washed off the chain (typically 10-20 oiler cycles with normal operation). Installation and Mai ntenance Manual: Shoe Sorter Published September 2020 Rev. B...
1. For purposes of controlling the knife edge and/or any optional gapper conveyors, the encoder may be mounted on either the right or left side of the sorter with no change in functionality or install/wiring procedures. Reference Figure 18 Installation and Mai ntenance Manual: Shoe Sorter Published September 2020 Rev. B...
2. Observe the motion of the sorter chain and slats immediately upstream of the drive sprocket: if the slats are moving closer together during deceleration, deceleration rate should be reduced. Installation and Mai ntenance Manual: Shoe Sorter Published September 2020...
2. Each divert control box contains an internal 48VDC, 20A output power supply. Typical input for each power supply is 460VAC 3 phase, 1.4A full load steady state. Installation and Mai ntenance Manual: Shoe Sorter Published September 2020 Rev. B...

1. In a typical configuration, the knife edge conveyor will not be directly speed-controlled by the PLC, but will “follow” the speed of the shoe sorter by using a signal from the provided 10,000 line HTL incremental encoder mounted on the sorter tailshaft. This ensures the knife edge belt will always match speed with the sorter, as long as the motor is powered and enabled.
