Straight line conveyor sortation systems are most cost-effective where the number of sortation points required is relatively small, for instance, 10-40 delivery points. A number of different types of diverts can be used on straight line sorters with selection based on a number of factors including product characteristics and the required throughput. The range of in-line sorters include devices to sort from 5-20 cases per minute, up to high speed units operating at greater than 200 cartons per minute.
