Strip Belt Sorters (Narrow Belt Conveyors)

Known for their speed and affordability, strip belt sorters present a silent option compared to other conveyor sortation systems. The design consists of multiple narrow belts which divert items via lanes with wheels rising between each belt. Strip belt sorters suit packing stations in distribution centres for large retail operations.

Shoe Sorters

Low-maintenance and very quiet like strip belt sorters, these systems support products on tubes or slates with divert shoes sliding across the slats diagonally. The shoe then gently pushes items onto a separate takeaway line. These conveyor systems are perfect for handling fragile items of various sizes and weights. This type of sortation conveyor is ideal for space saving within a facility and sorting various types of items in a delicate manner.

Cross-Belt Sorters

High-speed conveyors that can be installed into existing conveyor systems dividing items via small individual belted trays, cross-belt sorters are predominantly used for transporting items in trays, bins, or containers such as small and irregular-sized products like cosmetics, electronics, and pharmaceuticals. Many cross-belt conveyor systems are installed in distribution centres, logistics and 3PL facilities.

Loop Sorters

Loop sorters are suitable for operations across a variety of distribution centres and 3PL facilities and are used for transporting a mix of item shapes, weights, and sizes with multiple sort locations. With loop sorters, typically each item gets diverted via a tilt tray which directs them into separate chutes off the conveyor, making them ideally suited for the sortation of smaller items in trays that can utilise gravity.

Devices

Specialised devices - such as right angle/drop transfers, pop-up wheel diverts and pushers integrated into conveyor systems - perform specific tasks such as diverting, sorting or accumulating products, adding functionality and enhancing operational efficiency in automated environments.

Manufacturing options for automated conveyor and sortation systems

All our conveyors come with a number of manufacturing options, as shown below.
