Flexible Sortation Unit (FSU) Info

  The Flexible Sortation Unit (FSU) is a product of an extensive Research and Development effort
  by SDI, developed to create a more economical solution that could compete with traditional tilt tray sorters.

  The FSU makes 14,400 trays available per hour past a single point and enables elevation changes, all
  the while maintaining the ability to make both left and right hand turns. Such layout configurations are made
  possible by the patent-pending chainless design. The drive mechanisms are mounted at multiple points
  throughout the system, which allows long and complex configurations. Sortable items for the FSU include,
  but are not limited to, Apparel/Garments, Books, Parcels/Packages and DVD/CDs. The FSU Sorter features
  PC-based controls, the ability to incline, decline and serpentine and large item detection. The FSU features
  dual trays, which act independently for smaller items or work in conjunction for larger items. 

  The FSU can automatically sort individual packages and bar-coded products and also has the ability to sort
  non bar-coded items. Because of the elimination of a chain drive, the FSU allows for a wide variety of machine
  configurations and because of its multi-level applications allows incredible space utilization.
