Cross Belt Sorter

At its core, a Cross Belt Sorter is a conveyor-based sorting system comprising independently operated short conveyor belts mounted transversely along the main track. This design allows for a dynamic and efficient sorting process, making it a go-to solution for industries with diverse sorting needs.

Cross Belt Sorters come in various types, adapting to the unique demands of different industries. The two standard types are horizontal and vertical Cross Belt Sorters. Both utilize linear induction motor technology, ensuring simplified operation, easier maintenance, and reduced mechanical wear over time.

Horizontal Cross Belt Sorters are formatted in a loop layout.
Vertical Cross Belt Sorters are formatted in a linear layout.

Cross Belt Sorters shine in sorting parcels, apparel, and small items that pose challenges, such as fragile or high-friction products. This technology, known for its gentle handling, ensures tight divert points and boasts high sortation rates exceeding 12,000 parcels per hour. Its adaptability extends across various applications, including inbound sortation, order fulfillment, cross-docking, shipping, kitting, and more.

The Cross Belt Sorter boasts a flexible design available in horizontal or vertical orientations, and oval, U, or straight shapes. This flexibility ensures that the sorter aligns with the unique layout and demands of different facilities. The ability to adapt its shape and orientation makes it a customizable and efficient solution for various logistical setups.
