Sortation Systems: High, Medium, and Low Speed

Sliding-shoe and cross-belt, conveyor, pushers and other sorters for high-speed distribution automation

Sortation systems may include Shoe Sorters, Cross-Belt Sorters, Pop-Wheel and Roller Sorters, a variety of conveyors, and other automated sortation systems. These systems are designed for either low or high volume order sizes, to promote shipping accuracy, and the ability to ship more frequently. They also offer increased productivity, labor savings, cost reduction, and vastly improved customer satisfaction.

Sortation conveyors are one of the more common and effective sortation systems. These conveyors are designed to provide intelligent sortation. Sortation systems are designed to meet the growing demand for smaller order sizes, high shipping accuracy, and more frequent shipments while improving efficiency in your distribution operations.
