Modular belt tray sorter

In this instance, the sorter was set up with a speed of 1.75m per second. This means that the system reaches a sorting output of 15,750 items per hour. At the maximum speed of 2.5m per second, the machine capacity increases to 22,500 items per hour.

Beumer uses contactless power transmission instead of the normal conductor lines for its sorters. As a result, users can reduce the need for machine maintenance and replacement parts to a minimum, and also avoid the dust that occurs with conductor lines.

The manual loading station, offers a cheaper option for inducting goods onto the sorter. When the operator places the goods manually onto a sorter tray, they can assess the product again before the automatic sorting process. If they see that the product is damaged, they can remove it from the sorting process in good time. Because manual loaders can be set very flexibly and users can react quickly to performance peaks, these solutions are particularly popular in industries with high peak phases. The manual loaders can be installed in curves, which means that these sorter sections, where there are normally no functions, can also be used effectively. This improves the system’s commercial viability.

Another option for taking the goods to be sorted as bulk products to the sorter is semi-automatic induction.
