Advanced Sortation Systems
Our sortation systems combine mechanical precision with intelligent controls to accurately direct items to specific destinations at high speeds. From simple diverters to sophisticated high-speed sorters, we design solutions that meet your throughput requirements and accuracy standards.
Pop-Up Wheel Sorters
Featuring retractable wheels that rise to divert products at 30° or 45° angles. Ideal for medium-speed applications handling totes, cartons, and cases with flat bottoms.
Sliding Shoe Sorters
High-speed sortation technology using angled shoes to gently push products onto diverts while maintaining orientation. Perfect for high-throughput operations handling diverse products.
Narrow Belt Sorters
Multiple narrow belts with perpendicular divert mechanisms for precise, high-speed sortation of small to medium-sized items with consistent bottoms.
Cross-Belt Sorters
Individual carriers with belts moving perpendicular to the flow direction, providing gentle, accurate sortation of irregularly shaped items at high speeds.
Tilt-Tray Sorters
Carriers with trays that tilt to discharge products at sortation points. Excellent for handling diverse product sizes and shapes with high accuracy and throughput.
Bomb Bay Sorters
Features bottom-opening carriers for precise vertical dropping of products at sortation points. Ideal for applications requiring gentle handling and precise placement.
