This space-saving and versatile sortation system is specifically designed for fast
and efficient sorting of small to medium, light-weight, items ranging from jewellery
to garments and miscellaneous packaged goods. Items can be sorted to cartons,
totes, sacks or any other carrying medium. The sorter can be manufactured
with double (split) or single trays.
Inducted items can be manually
scanned or automatically inducted into either one or two carrier segments or
across both so that they can be transported for release at an assigned dropstation
which normally represents a store or delivery point. The split trays/carriers
(4
segments per set of trays) convey items in a horizontal orientation
and release them, bomb bay style, into cartons, totes or sacks placed below them.
This
is an energy efficient sorter, consisting of a train of hinged
trays/carriers that can
be released on either side for product discharge.
The carriages are interconnected in a continuous loop which is driven by separate
drive and sprocket assemblies which have been designed to drive the sorter
without mechanical interference between the hinged trays/carriers. |
