Automated high performance sorting system for flat pack goods
The psb crossbelt sorter transports and sorts many different types of flat pack goods: totes, cardboard boxes, parcels and shipping bags. Designed as a three-dimensional sorting system, the psb crossbelt sorter can be flexibly customised to meet specific requirements.
With this system, 12 000 items with dimensions of 100 x 100 mm to 800 x 600 mm and a maximum weight of 35 kg can be transported and sorted in an hour. A special type of the sorter is available to handle goods weighing up to 50 kgs, if requested.
Sorted safely and efficiently
The psb sorter with its flexible, three-dimensional layout with curved sections, ascending and descending sections, as well as the variable arrangement of infeed lines, outfeed and sorting sections is the ideal solution for a wide range of applications.
The articles to be sorted are transported on runner blocks that are equipped with belts aligned at right angles to the direction of travel. The items are automatically transferred via an infeed line onto the crossbelts of the runner blocks for transport. At the specified destination, the goods are transferred off the crossbelts.
Intelligently controlled by psb selektron
The high performance sorting system is controlled by the psb selektron intralogistics software. Thanks to the seamless IT integration, the articles are accurately routed to their outfeed destinations and ensures the smooth interaction of the upstream and downstream material flow components.
Unique feature of the crossbelt sorter: depending on the quality of the articles, their individual outfeed behaviour and the respective application, the destinations are designed accordingly. A combined operation for different purposes is also feasible, such as retail and e-commerce, or outfeeds onto conveyors for further transport to other work areas.
The intelligent energy management is another outstanding aspect of the psb solution: the energy is transferred to capacitors installed in the individual runner blocks and is used for energising the belts when taking over or dropping the goods. This technology ensures high system availability and low maintenance costs and finally requires less spare parts.
