Sliding-Shoe Linear Sorters
| Products Are Transported On Aluminum Slats. Divert Shoes Move Diagonally Across The Conveyor To Gently Push The Product On Takeaway Lanes Placed At 30-Degree/ 22-Degree Angles To Main Slat Conveyor. Ideal For Sorting A Very Wide Range Of Product Sizes And Shapes, Including Unevenly Weighted Cartons. Option O Single And Dual Diverts, Sorting To Both The Left And Right. At Entry Products Do Not Need To Be Justified To Either Side Of The Sorter. Requires Robust Support Frame To Withstand Continuous Start-Stop Cycles. |
| Provides A Very Soft, Positive Divert With Smooth Gentle Movement From Sorter To Take-away Lane. Option Of Single And Dual Diverts. Can Handle Wide Variety Of Product Sizes, Shapes And Weights, Fragile/ Easily Damageable Products At Varying Rates To Accommodate Slower And Faster Throughput. |
| A Single, Continuous Belt That Diverts Packages Using Mechanical Diverter Shoes. Ideal For High-Volume Applications With Various Package Sizes |
| Best Suited For High-Speed Sorting. Has Aluminum Slats And Uses Sliding Shoes To Divert Products. Even At High Speeds, It Is Gentle On Products Making It Perfect For Handling Smaller And More Fragile Products. |
| Long Straight Conveyor With Two Chains On The Outside That Carry Perpendicular Aluminum Slats That Have “Shoes” That Are Plastic Blocks. Cartons Ride On Top Of The Slats And The Shoes Are Aligned To One Side Of The Slats (Opposite Side To The Divert Lanes). Underneath The Slats Are Switches, One At Every Divert Location. Once The Product Reaches The Point At Which It Must Be Diverted Off Of The Sorter, The Switch Is Activated, Pushing The Product Off The Sorter To The Correct Divert Lane. Sliding Shoe Sorters Are Traditionally Used To Handle Cases, But Can Be Customized To Handle Polybags As Well. With High Throughtput 100-300 Cartons Per Minute They Are Often Used In Packing And Shipping Applications. Can Handle A Wide Range Of Product Types And Sizes. Also Incredibly Flexible In The Applications They Can Be Utilized In. As The Shoes Gently Divert Products In Diagonal Line, These Sorters Are Gentle, Especially Compared To Other Solutions. These Sorters Are Expensive Compared To Narrow Belt Sorters But Less Expensive Than Loop Sorters. Although Diverts Can Be Added At Initial Installation For Future Diverts, It Is Impractical To Add Diverts Later. |
