Regional Distribution Centers Cross Belt Sorter Lower Operational Costs

The Realkey Cross Belt Sorter is a cutting-edge system for sorting parcels and cartons effortlessly. It integrates tracks, carts, perpendicular belts, recognition, and communication systems. Carts, chained along the track, use cross belts—hence "Cross Belt"—to transport items, loaded manually or automatically. At sorting stations, belts engage to ensure accurate sorting.

Offered in circular or linear configurations, these sorters perform robustly. Circular models achieve 2 meters per second, processing 22,000 items per hour, while linear designs hit 1.5 meters per second, sorting 8,000 items hourly. They’re ideal for high-throughput, multi-directional sorting in courier services, e-commerce, fashion, food, cosmetics, airports, and pharmaceuticals.
