Handling and distributing retail apparel typically calls for specialized equipment,
especially in the case of hanging garments. While the warehousing - distribution
center involved may not be especially large, it must be designed carefully
to provide for the integration of several different handling systems. The garment
sorter sorts finished garments, such as shirts and dresses, according to lot
and size numbers recorded on tags and labels attached to garments.
Garment
sortation utilizes a flexible system configuration allowing for easier
installation in almost any distribution center with reliable garment conveyance
on normal hangers. The garment sorter can track garment location with automatic
data collection and analysis. Garment sortation is compatible with bar codes
and/or RFID chips. SDI's conveyor systems are the best and most reliable in the
industry.
SDI's garment sortation system is the standard in high
speed unit distribution of hanging garments. Its design can be configured for
installation in either multi-level or single level operations with equal effectiveness.
Induction
to the sorter is achieved either manually or automatically
by adding a mechanical device which synchronises a screw conveyor or
quick picker with the hooks and automatically delivers the hangers to the hooks
as they pass through the induction area. The induction process can also be integrated
with an automatic trolley-stripper.
The hang sorter has a variable
speed controller, allowing the operators to optimise the travel speed of
the garments as well as the induction rate. Induction rates are determined by
two factors: rope speed and hook centre distance.
The SDI Standard Speed
Hangsorter running at maximum speed with hooks at 325mm centres has an induction
rate of 6000 hooks per hour with either manual or automatic induction. The
High Speed Hangsorter has hooks on 250mm centres and is capable of induction
rates of 10000 hooks per hour but for this speed requires an automatic induction
device.
We have developed the most comprehensive and innovative hang
sorter system in the world. We continue to refine our systems, incorporating
more ergonomic designs, high-tech materials and components, and labour saving
applications. Whether you are allocating single garments or pre-packed packs of
GOH merchandise, our sorters deliver the merchandise to the store lane accurately
and ready to be shipped.
