Conveyor Belt Splitter Alternative Request

I know it might be a bit complex, however, I humbly request the creation of a better diverter than the one provided for conveyor belts.

 

 

The left and right divergent conveyors with rollbars on the angled part is insufficient, slows the flow of items, creates clogs and often gets items stuck or fall off the conveyor belt. The push-bar that diverges the path of items being at an angle is the only thing really helping it transition from the straight conveyor to the other.

 

I request a better solution. I diverge bodies so the mod that uses the item sorter to split the flow of items is not sufficient.

 

Possible solutions: Have the push-bar that powers to change the flow of items ALSO provide some forward push. This might rotate the items a little but it will help NOT break the momentum.

 

 

2: When the push bar is powered, have an invisible conveyor attached to it that overlaps the lip between the normal conveyor and the rolling bars that, "Appears," in position so it doesn't push the items as the rollbar is moving into place. This will help instantly and without momentum killing change the direction of items.
