In today's fast-paced e-commerce era, logistics sorting efficiency directly affects the store's operating costs and customer satisfaction. As an efficient and accurate automated sorting machine, the Swivel wheel sorter is gradually becoming an important material handling equipment in the field of warehousing and logistics. 

The basic principle of the swivel wheel sorter

The swivel wheel sorter is an automated parcel sorting system designed based on the principle of a rotary balance wheel. It achieves accurate sorting and directional transportation of items through the rotation of a series of independently controllable small pulleys or rollers.

The system usually consists of the following core components:

Conveyor belt: as the basic channel for item transportation

swivel wheel array: composed of dozens to hundreds of small swivel wheels, each wheel can be independently controlled and has an independent module

Control system: including sensors, PLC and OCR vision system

Sorting exit: different sorting channels set according to needs

When the items enter the sorting area, the control system accurately controls the rotation direction and speed of the swicel wheel at a specific position according to the preset sorting rules, thereby guiding the items to the target exit. This design realizes the efficient sorting concept of "items do not move, sorting mechanism moves"

Parcel Steerable Wheel Sorting Machine Advantages:

1. High-efficiency processing capacity
The processing speed of modern balance wheel sorting machines can reach 6,000-12,000 items per hour, far exceeding the efficiency of manual sorting. For example, after DHL deployed the Gosunm sway wheel sorting system in a distribution center, the sorting efficiency increased by 300% and the labor cost decreased by 45%.

2. High-precision sorting
Through advanced sensor arrays and computer vision technology, the system can achieve a sorting accuracy of more than 99.9%. Amazon Top Shop's practical data shows that after using the wheel sorting machine, the missorting rate has dropped from 1.2% of manual sorting to less than 0.05%.

3. High space utilization
The modular design of the swivel wheel sorting machine enables it to adapt to various space constraints. Compared with traditional slider sorting machines, it can save 30-40% of the floor space. A logistics center in Japan has doubled its processing capacity in the original space by adopting a compact balance wheel sorting system.

4. Diversity of items to be handled
The balance wheel sorter can handle everything from small envelopes to 10kg boxed goods. Specially designed wheel surface materials (such as polyurethane, rubber, etc.) can also adapt to items with different surface characteristics, including fragile items and irregularly shaped items.

5. Low maintenance requirements
The Parcel Steerable Wheel Sorting Machine has fewer moving parts and less wear. According to statistics, its average annual maintenance cost is only 2-3% of the initial investment, which is much lower than other types of sorting equipment.
