Abstract
Food products () being transported on a conveyor () are scanned to ascertain if designated desired physical parameters are met. If so, the food products () are allowed to continue along a processing path. If not, the food products are diverted from the processing path by a diverter system () consisting of the plurality of individually operated diverter units positioned across the width of the conveyor. The diverter units () are controlled by a control system () so that only the diverter units in alignment with work products () to be diverted are actuated thereby to remove the work product from the processing path ().
