One of the neat features of Flexmove plastic  chain conveyors is that the individual lanes can be positioned very close to  each other. When the conveyors are placed so close, it makes it much easier to  transfer products from one lane on plastic  slat conveyorsto the other than for alternative types of conveyor where  bearing housings and other conveyor parts get in the way. This close lane  arrangement can be assisted by the use of transfer plates that can be placed  between the lanes to encourage parts to change over from one lane o the other.  Larger parts can change lane unassisted when side guides are used. Another  option is to use diverters like the 3 way diverter shown in the photo. This  takes a part that is on the central lane and with signals sent to the diverter  can allow the part to carry on the same lane, or divert it left or right.
