A diverter blade for displacing articles from a conveying surface includes a motor-driven, torque-transmitting metallic section, and a plastic section integrally molded to the metallic section. Portions of the metallic section are embedded within the plastic section to reinforce the plastic section and transmit torque thereto. The plastic section forms an article-contacting front wall, and includes diagonal reinforcing braces on a rear side of the front wall.
