Abstract
A cross-belt sorter with a plurality of interconnected carriers drivable behind each other in a conveying direction. Each carrier is provided with a cross-belt for supporting a product. The cross-belt is drivable in a belt driving direction extending transversely to the conveying direction. 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. The pushing element has an upright orientation with respect to the cross-belt and is supported in the belt driving direction 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 cross-belt.
