How the ferag.rotapusher diverter module works
ferag.rotapusher uses a rotary push mechanism to redirect items from one conveyor line to another. The module sits inline on an existing conveyor. When an item reaches the divert position, a rotating arm pushes it sideways onto the target line — without stopping the main conveyor flow.
Integrated sensors detect each item and confirm its position before activation. Consequently, the transfer is precise and gentle even at high cycle rates. The module supports both fixed and variable divert angles, adapting to different layout requirements.
ferag.rotapusher handles item redirection wherever fast, reliable sorting is needed without a full sorter installation:
- Diverting packages to dispatch lanes, packing stations, or return processing in e-commerce fulfilment
- Sorting cartons and containers by destination or order in retail and B2B distribution
- Transferring items between parallel conveyor lines in 3PL operations
- Extending existing conveyor systems with a divert point — without replacing the main line
- Buffer bypass and peak routing in high-throughput CEP and postal sortatio
- High throughput. Up to 60 packages per minute for uninterrupted material flow — suitable for high-speed conveyor environments.
- Precise and item-friendly. Integrated sensors ensure accurate positioning and secure product detection. Furthermore, the rotary push mechanism transfers goods without impact or damage.
- Versatile. Handles packages from 100×100×100 mm up to 600×400×400 mm and weights up to 30 kg — dimensionally stable items across a wide size range.
- Robust and low-maintenance. High-quality materials and precise manufacturing deliver long service life in continuous operation.
- Easy integration. Compatible with ferag.skymove, ferag.skysort, and conventional conveyor systems. Additionally, it connects quickly as part of the ferag.modules portfolio with minimal planning effort.
- Fast implementation. Quick availability and pre-configured design reduce time-to-operation significantly.

ferag.rotapusher in existing conveyor architectures
ferag.rotapusher integrates directly into existing conveyor lines. It connects to ferag.skymove plate chain conveyors, ferag.skysort tilt-tray systems, and conventional third-party conveyor systems without structural modifications.
As part of the ferag.modules portfolio, ferag.rotapusher is available quickly and with minimal planning effort. Therefore, it suits both new installations and retrofits of existing conveyor architectures. Additionally, it complements other ferag.modules products such as ferag.spiral and ferag.skysort.compact in multi-module layouts.
ferag.rotapusher in action
A conveyor diverter module redirects items from one conveyor line to another at a defined point in the material flow. ferag.rotapusher uses a rotary push mechanism to transfer packages, cartons, and containers sideways onto a target conveyor — precisely, without stopping the main flow, and at rates up to 60 packages per minute. It handles items up to 30 kg and dimensions up to 600×400×400 mm.
ferag.rotapusher integrates with ferag.skymove plate chain conveyors, ferag.skysort tilt-tray systems, and conventional third-party conveyor systems. As part of the ferag.modules portfolio, it connects to existing conveyor architectures without structural modifications and with minimal planning effort.
ferag.rotapusher handles dimensionally stable items — packages, cartons, and containers — from 100×100×100 mm up to 600×400×400 mm and weights up to 30 kg. It suits a wide range of item types across e-commerce, retail, B2B, and 3PL environments.
ferag.rotapusher is part of the ferag.modules portfolio, which is designed for quick availability and fast implementation with minimal planning effort. The pre-configured module integrates directly into existing conveyor lines, reducing time-to-operation significantly compared to custom-engineered divert solutions.
A diverter module like ferag.rotapusher redirects items at one specific point in the conveyor flow — transferring them from one line to another. A sorter like ferag.skysort or ferag.skysort.compact manages multiple destinations simultaneously across a larger sortation architecture. Both can be combined: ferag.rotapusher adds a fast, targeted divert point within a broader system that includes full sortation.
