Abstract: Systems and related methods for singulating and/or reorienting articles may include a singulator with at least two and preferably three V-shaped conveyors (202, 204, 206) serially arranged to convey the articles in a vertically cascading fashion. The conveyors may operate at successively increasing speeds to separate adjacent articles with successively larger gaps. Each conveyor may be comprised of a pair of belts (202a, 202b, 204a, 204b, 206a, 206b) oriented generally orthogonal to each other, and neither having a conveying surface parallel to a horizontal plane. To facilitate article reorientation, the individual belts may be driven at different linear speeds, and at least one belt may include a conveying surface with a high friction portion.

Abstract translation: 用于单个和/或重新定向物品的系统和相关方法可以包括具有至少两个并且优选三个V形输送器的分离器，所述输送器串联地以垂直级联方式输送物品。 输送机可以以连续增加的速度运行，以分开相邻的物品，并具有相继较大的间隙。 每个输送机可以由一对通常彼此正交定向的皮带组成，并且两者都不具有平行于水平面的输送表面。 为了便于物品重新定向，各个带可以以不同的线速度被驱动，并且至少一个带可以包括具有高摩擦部分的输送表面。
