Modular high speed pneumatic switch sorter
July 21st 2008 AMH has launched a new, modular high speed pneumatically operated switch sorter. The AMH Sorter offers high speed bi-directional (left/right) 45° sortation of various products, handling items as little as 200mm square at speeds of up to 30 items per/min. The compact design requires minimal spacing between conveyed products, giving optimum space utilisation and feeding of close pitched lanes.
The AMH Sorter is suited to high speed sortation applications found in distribution, mail order and palletising applications. The units are considered to be energy efficient as they do not require additional drive units and can be slave driven directly from any existing main lineshaft conveyor. Smooth rubber sortation wheels provide an ‘exceptionally quiet’ operation.
Pre-configured and factory tested to ensure simplicity of installation and commissioning, the modular switch sorter design enables units to be easily repositioned. Functional intelligence can meet future handling changes. AMH can provide controls and customised software to meet individual requirements and ensure optimum system integration.
