High capacity multi-directional diverter debuts at IMHX
The high-capacity multi-directional diverter is said to deliver unrivalled speed, compactness and flexibility across a broad spectrum of warehousing, e-commerce and intralogistics applications.
IT IS making its UK debut at this year’s IMHX show (National Exhibition Centre, Birmingham, 6-8 September 2022).
Itoh Denki (stand 5C50) is showcasing its Multi-Angle Ball Sorter (MABS) which features patented rotating ball transfer technology, enabling it to divert to exits at 30°, 45° or 90° angles on both the left and right.
Capable of throughputs of up to 4,300 units per hour, MABS can be integrated into any type of conveyor system.
Using no pneumatics and exclusively powered by proven 24V DC technology, MABS can handle loads of up to 30kg of a wide range of shapes and sizes. It comes in five sizes and is readily reconfigurable to allow customers to change their set-ups to meet evolving requirements. Up to eight units can be combined to create larger transfer zones as needed.
Colin Crowley of Itoh Denki explained: “Our modular approach to sortation line design has been developed in recognition of the need for customers to be able to reconfigure and expand their lines to meet future requirements.
“This versatility is particularly important for 3PLs managing logistics for e-commerce companies, who may have to quickly respond to changing volumes and requirements.
“With Itoh Denki diverter-centric systems, sortation is no longer need to be a bottleneck.”
