A Cross Tray Sorter is a high-throughput loop sorter. The "loop" consists of linked carriers that independently discharge products at predefined drop-off points. Each carrier is equipped with four raised edges and can eject items to both the left and right sides. There are two versions available: the Cross Tray and the Cross Tray XL. The XL version features larger carriers, making it suitable for sorting bigger and heavier packages.
The Cross Tray Sorter is ideal for handling a wide variety of products, including:
- Clothing and footwear
- Cosmetics and small electronics
- Fragile or delicate items
- E-commerce goods
- Products with irregular shapes (e.g. round, cylindrical, egg-shaped, etc.)
- Items ranging in weight from 50 grams up to 13 kg
The number of packages that can be sorted per hour ranges from 3,000 to 17,000 units per hour, depending on the configuration.
Yes. We ensure that your existing WMS is fully compatible with the sorter.
- Loading: Items are manually or automatically loaded into individual carriers.
- Scanning: The barcode, RFID, or another identification method of each item is scanned.
- Sorting: Based on the scanned data, the item is transported to a specific exit point where it will be ejected.
- Ejecting: The conveyor in the carrier moves to the left or right, causing one of the raised edges to flip open, and the product is ejected into a chute.
- High accuracy: Error margin close to zero.
- Cost savings: More efficient picking process (requires a smaller team).
- Gentle handling: Ideal for fragile and delicate packages.
- Dual-sided ejection: Provides relatively many exit points.
- Small footprint: Compact design for efficient use of space.
- Low noise levels: Operators can easily communicate with each other.
