Abstract
A cross-belt sorter () comprises a plurality of interconnected carriers () which are drivable behind each other in a conveying direction (X). Each of the carriers () is provided with a cross-belt () for supporting a product. The cross-belt () is drivable in a belt driving direction (Y) extending transversely to the conveying direction (X). A pushing element () is mounted to the cross-belt () for pushing against a product on the cross-belt () in the event that a product on the cross-belt () tends to move with respect to the cross-belt () in opposite direction of the belt driving direction (Y). The pushing element () has an upright orientation with respect to the cross-belt () and is supported in the belt driving direction (Y) by a supporting member () which is at least between opposite side edges of the cross-belt () fixed to the pushing element () and to the cross-belt () at respective distances from an intersection between the pushing element () and the crossbelt ().
