The smart sorting solution
March 1st 2010 Transnorm has installed its
SmartSort to great effect at the
Cologne-Bonn headquarters of a
worldwide logistics operator.
Previously, orders despatched on
pre-sorted Euro-pallets for collection
by express couriers were assembled
manually. The compact SmartSort
has fitted easily and inconspicuously
into the existing conveyor system.
The system sorts 2000 boxes of
differing sizes per hour, with a
continuous speed of 1.7m/s,
smoothly distributing them without
twisting or guiding with sided
guides.With a decibel rating of
<65dB (A) measured at 1 to 1.5m
away, the SmartSort has a noise level
no higher than normal conversation.
The Smart-Sort distribution unit
consists of an RC22 roller conveyor
driven by a flat belt, fitted with
multi-position distributing units
mounted on moveable sub-frames.
While in conventional systems
separate drives are needed for each
distribution unit, SmartSort
technology requires only two drives
for a 10m long track with five
diverts. More articles from Transnorm System Limited: |
