Irregularly Shaped Items Tilt Tray Sorter Optimized Sorting Speed

The Realkey Tilt Tray Sorter, also referred to as the flip tray sorter, provides an innovative and economical solution for sorting small to medium-sized packages. This advanced system is specifically designed to enhance sorting operations across multiple industries.

Constructed with essential components such as tray carriers, conveyor systems, tilting mechanisms, identification technologies, control units, and track structures, the sorter utilizes a horizontal continuous conveying method. Items are loaded onto trays attached to motorized carts that travel along a designated track. As the carts reach the sorting station, the tilting mechanism engages, allowing items to slide off the trays smoothly and efficiently.

The tilt tray sorter features a flexible design that enables it to handle a wide variety of items, including parcels, boxes, envelopes, and even challenging shapes like cylindrical or spherical products that traditional sorting machines may struggle with.

Depending on the specific model, Realkey's tilt tray sorter can process between 7,200 and 10,800 items per hour, making it an ideal choice for high-efficiency sorting needs across various sectors, including postal services, courier delivery, e-commerce, clothing distribution, and fresh produce logistics.

Technical Parameters

Application

Tilt tray sorters are widely used in various settings that require automated sorting capabilities. Their applications extend to postal services, express delivery, e-commerce, apparel, literature, daily essentials, fresh produce, pharmaceuticals, jewelry, and more. This sorter excels at managing small, lightweight items and irregularly shaped products that may be challenging for other sorting systems, such as cross belt sorters.

Tilt tray sorters are particularly efficient in high-volume consumer distribution centers, facilitating the batch selection and sorting of small items for specific orders. This includes e-commerce products, retail clothing, omnichannel logistics, third-party logistics, store restocking, and returns processing. However, they are not recommended for fragile items that may be vulnerable to damage. For delicate products, the Realkey series sorters are a preferable choice.
