Abstract
A system and apparatus for a medication container sorting apparatus is disclosed. The container sorting apparatus includes a belt support, a transport mechanism, a cleated belt, and a cam belt with cam-driven probes. The cam-driven probes travel along the cam belt and an accompanying cam track. The cam track varies in distance from the cleated belt so as the cam-driven probes are driven upward along the cam belt, the probes are extended and retracted along the length of the cleated belt causing medication containers located on the cleated belt to be pushed to different locations on the cleated belt depending on the orientation of the medication container.
