This conveyor contains of cross belts. A cross belt sortation system is provided which includes a pair of side-by-side carrier belts on each of a plurality of transport units movable along a conveying path. The carrier belts may be operable independently or in a synchronized manner, in order to receive packages from one or more induction stations and either discharge the packages at an appropriate discharge station or transfer the package onto the carrier belt at the other side of the transport unit. Either continuous loop, where individual carriages are linked together to form an endless loop, or train style (asynchronous), where a small number of carriers tied together with potential for several trains running track simultaneously. Each carriage equipped with small belt conveyor, called the cell, that is mounted perpendicular to direction of travel of loop and discharges product at appropriate destination. It automatically separates single line of products into multiple in-line discharge lines.
