Linear cross belt sorter manufactured for small and medium outlets

Parcels Sorting system is a conveying device frequently used in modern logistics warehousing. Items are placed on the sorting machine, which can drive the items to move longitudinally along the rack and move transversely, thereby driving the items to move in two-axis planes, which is suitable for the transportation and sorting of parcels.

The linear cross belt sorter is a sorting device with a linear layout. Known as the "magic tool for sorting small and medium-sized outlets", the linear sorter is an intelligent device that is driven by the electric roller of a linear motor to sort with "intelligent trolleys arranged at intervals".

Application scenarios

Cargo/parcel sorting and transportation for the express and logistics industries
Solve the problem of port delivery at the end of the express logistics industry, sorting before delivery
Small footprint, high sorting efficiency, new general-purpose automated sorting equipment
Good feasibility of personalized customization

The linear narrow-band cross-belt sorter is a closed-loop system consisting of a main machine composed of continuous trolleys, tracks, induction platforms, leaky cables, communication systems, power supply systems, sorting crossings, barcode scanners and other equipment. The serial trolleys are driven by motors and run in a one-way cycle along the tracks in the vertical direction. The goods are automatically and smoothly introduced into the sorting machine trolley through the induction platform. After the barcode is read by the scanner and the database address is queried, the goods are smoothly unloaded to the designated sorting crossing through the action of the trolley belt.

Features

Small footprint: With a straight-line shape, the minimum footprint is only about 300 square meters, which can save site area and rent to a great extent; suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and outlets.
Fast sorting speed: the line speed is ≤2.5m/s, achieving a maximum sorting efficiency of about 10,800 pieces/hour;
Simple loading operation: It can be manually operated, or directly connected to the telescopic machine and belt section to realize automatic loading, automatic sawing and automatic grid dropping, reducing manpower input;
High sorting accuracy: the top scanning barcode recognition rate reaches 99%, automatic recognition, automatic grid dropping, high accuracy, avoiding manual operation fatigue, error-induced misclassification fines;
Strong customization flexibility: It can be customized according to the needs of different sites, the trolley track is modularly assembled, the number of grids can be flexibly assembled, and it supports port entry/exit operations, Adapt to different sizes of packages;
Short delivery cycle: Thanks to the standardized composition structure and lightweight overall shape, the linear equipment takes only 10 days from production, transportation, assembly to commissioning, which can quickly meet the user's use needs;
High cost performance: The investment cost of linear equipment is lower than that of the loop line, and it can greatly alleviate the efficiency pressure brought by the increase in operation volume, optimize manpower allocation, and more efficiently complete the tasks of sorting and delivery, and promote the healthy operation of outlets.

Process flow

After the equipment is turned on, the origin of the trolley line and the origin of the bag supply belt are synchronized at both ends by adjusting the speed of the bag supply section; when loading manually, the light curtain scans the package and immediately determines the corresponding trolley number that falls when it flows into the line at the current speed, and sends it to the host computer; after the host computer receives it, the package arrives at the loading point and successfully sends the corresponding trolley PLC to send the corresponding car number and center the package; when it arrives at the target grid position, the unloading instruction is sent to the corresponding trolley PLC, and the trolley rotates to send the package into the grid to unload the package.

Cross-belt sorters have become the core equipment of modern logistics systems due to their high efficiency, high precision and flexibility. When selecting a model, small and medium-sized enterprises need to consider their business scale, technical requirements and cost budget to select an appropriate solution. In the future, with the deepening of intelligent and green technologies, cross-belt sorters will demonstrate their revolutionary value in more fields.
