Platform for parcels

The HPP primarily uses proven technical products that have already proved themselves hundreds of thousands of times with users.

Interroll executive vice president products & technology Jens Strüwing, explains: “HPP offers system integrators and courier, express and parcel service providers important additional value in achieving their business goals. In addition to the maximum flexibility and proven product quality of this modular system of freely combinable conveyor modules, these are above all the energy efficiency, ease of use and speed with which automation projects can be implemented.”

The Interroll Layouter can be used, for example, to design and plan complete HPP system concepts on a computer and implement them virtually. The new conveyor platform consists of a large number of standardised line and curve modules that can be freely combined to meet the respective customer requirements. These include, for example, straight conveyor modules and modules for inclines and declines. The rigidity has been increased by one-third compared to the MCP. The robustness of the platform allows loads of up to 50 kilograms per metre, while the maximum conveying speed is 2.5 metres per second. Depending on the dimensioning and the goods transported, a throughput of up to 10,000 units per hour is possible. The solution can process a huge range of goods to be sorted, including cardboard boxes, small packages, padded envelopes, manila envelopes and polybags.

Depending on customer needs, conveyors based on this platform are driven by gear or drum motors, which offer an efficiency of around 90% and enable a quiet and productive working environment with very high throughputs.

The functional core of the HPP is the innovative Interroll Multibelt Switch (MBS). The module combines conveying and sorting functions. By overlaying the straight-line and lateral movements, the conveying goods are diverted onto additional conveyor lines at a constant speed in the conveyor either straight ahead or on two sides. This method ensures not only a gentle and safe transport process, but also a very high speed and throughput values of over 10,000 units per hour.
