Sorting system is normally comprised of sortation technology and associated conveyor equipment and is an ideal solution for separating products from one conveying system to another. These systems are versatile and can sort a wide range of product sizes and weights to multiple divert lanes. We offer wide range of sorting solutions assures to meet your system sortation application needs.
Sorting conveyor is applicable to requirement or process which needs to separate products to specific destination lanes with the purpose of arranging product for a better means of distribution to increase in productivity. Sortation systems are employed when a high quantities product needs to flow to different destinations. It is often designed to meet the growing demand for smaller order sizes, increased shipping accuracy, and more frequent shipments while improving efficiency in distribution operations. These systems are versatile and can sort a wide range of product sizes and weights to multiple divert lanes.
Shoe Sorting System
Shoe sorting system provides a very soft, positive divert at in a very high capacity, up to 7500 cartons per hour. Shoe sorting system is ideal solution for applications where there is a wide variety of product sizes, shapes and weights being sorted. Besides, it is also an excellent sortation choice when the product is fragile or easily damaged and requires a smooth and gentle movement from the sorter to the takeaway lane. Sorting system is a very flexible sorting system, where the diversion location, direction, length of diversion shoe to sort the product, can be custom adjusted
Products are transported on aluminum slats. Divert shoes move diagonally across the conveyor to gently push the product onto a take-away line. This makes the shoe sorter ideal for sorting a very wide range of product sizes and shapes, including unevenly weighted cartons. The versatility of shoe sorters makes this technology ideal for various markets including product, distribution, manufacturing, etc.
Roller Sorting System
Roller sorting systems are typically belt driven roller conveyor, and sort using few sets of wheels that pivot separately and in sequence, at each diverter station. Roller type sorting system can run up to 400 cartons per hour.
To use roller sorting system, adequate product spacing is required to ensure that the diverter has time to carry out a cycle. We need gaping conveyor or traffic control device such as stopper to create gap between products, then skew roller conveyor is provided to skew cases to a suitable position for diversion, either by right hand, left hand or two-sided diverts are available. Roller sorter method is less costly than a shoe sorter, however it is not recommended for real long or small product. It is a popular choice in medium rate sortation. Roller sorting system typically are either belt driven roller conveyor or belt conveyor, which provides system a reliable method of tracking product from barcode scanner location to the divert stations.
