Robson's Vertical Sortation Units (VSU) route bags from a single-level source conveyor to one of two route options via paddle conveyors, typically to separate security-cleared and rejected bags. Vertical Merge Units (VMU) take bags from two vertically segregated sources and merge them into one route, allowing rapid sortation and vertical merging.
