Cross-Belt Sorter Solutions: 40% Higher Sorting Capacity

Cross-belt sorters showcase the latest achievements in engineering for high-speed complex material handling by setting new standards for accuracy, versatility, and volume in automated sorting. This system is made of units that contain their own moving belts that are arranged perpendicular to the main conveyor, allowing for precise and gentle lateral discharges. This gentle discharging system is great for sorting and distributing many highly varied products including parcels and polybags in logistics and packaged products in manufacturing and distribution. Integrated high-speed scanning tunnels and vision systems are used to identify items and sort them. Real-time identification is accomplished by tracking the item with barcodes and recording its dimensions, weight, and shape in order to track it. This identification method enables the system to effectively route items to their correct chute or endpoint with a 0% error rate. These systems are designed for high-volume operations.

One of the biggest strengths of the cross-belt sorter is its modular and scalable design. Each section is kept in standardized interlocked units, meaning the entire sorter can be adjusted to fit any layout and throughput configuration. Because of this modular design, the sorter is truly adaptable. Whenever there is a need for additional product sorting most customers will be able to add carrier modules, and if additional sorting is still needed, they will be able to lengthen the sorter line. This will enable customers to avoid a complete sort system overhaul in the future. This design provision to adapt in the future is essential to becoming a truly versatile sorting solution and will ultimately yield the highest return on investment for the customer.  

Every component is built to last and function fearlessly in even the roughest 24/7 conditions, and this is no accident. Sorters operate under heavy and continuous load. High-grade steels are used for the structure, while operational system drives remain industrial-grade to ensure they are always precise. The construction will also mean less wear and tear on the system, and lower costs in the future due to less maintenance. from the first concept to the end of the project, the customer will be supported by one of our engineers. There is no need for you to worry about any adjustments in the project. The engineers will ensure that the sorters fit and perform well with the system as designed.

Incorporating safety into our designs helps inform the way our cross-belt sorters incorporate standard safety features, from emergency stop circuits that span the length of the sorters to motor controllers that meet safety regulations. These features keep your employees and the sorters safe as well, and make it easier to meet international compliance regulations. We are always looking to the future, and are currently working on integrating next generation technologies like adaptive IoT for predictive maintenance, machine learning for process consolidation, and even more efficient motor drives for energy savings to keep your sorting operations safe, and to make it more competitive in today's ever-changing industrial landscape.
