About Sorting Equipment
Sorting equipment is used to separate dissimilar items into predetermined groupings as part of an automated process. There are many different types of sorting machines. Kick sorters move parts, items, or cartons from one side of conveyor to another. Paddle sorters and pop-up sorters also move items, but are bidirectional. Paddle sorters use a system of overhead paddles while pop-up sorters use powered rollers that are rise and fall between parallel belts. Cross belt sorters can handle a wide variety of products, regardless of size, weight and surface characteristics. When integrated with other equipment, cross belt sorters cancan also perform dispensing, identification, and labeling operations. Large, complex sorting equipment can also be incorporated into order fulfillment systems for items such as books, compact discs (CDs), and shrink-wrapped software.
