Handles Irregular Items Split Tray Sorter Easily Sorts Oddly Shaped Items Without Difficulty

The Split Tray Sorter, commonly known as the Bombay Sorter, is a sophisticated sorting solution developed by RKSORT to effectively manage the sorting of small to medium-sized items, particularly flat products.

This sorter features an elliptical horizontal ring layout with options for single or double-row trays. Items are placed in these trays and travel along a circular track. Upon reaching specific positions, the two halves of the trays open like doors, allowing the items to drop vertically into chutes or material boxes, thereby completing the sorting process.

The Split Tray Sorter is designed for high efficiency, capable of processing up to 21,600 trays per hour due to its ability to load items on double-row trays simultaneously. It is especially effective at sorting clothing, express letters, printed materials, and other flat or non-fragile items, including those with irregular shapes.

Technical Parameters

Product Features

Strong Applicability

The Split Tray Sorter uses trays to transport items, making it highly versatile for sorting lightweight, floating, or irregularly shaped items that are not suitable for Cross Belt Sorters. It can efficiently sort various types of packaging, including boxes, plastic bags, cartons, tote bags, and soft packaging.

Low-Speed High-Efficiency Sorting

The innovative "one cart, two trays" mechanism of the double-row Split Tray Sorter allows for sorting efficiencies that are double those of similarly configured Cross Belt Sorters. Operating at a ring line speed of just 1.2m/s, it can achieve sorting rates of up to 17,280 items per hour, with a dual-side feeding setup potentially reaching a maximum theoretical capacity of 34,560 items per hour.

High Sorting Accuracy

Equipped with advanced intelligent cameras, the Split Tray Sorter can read codes in any orientation, achieving a reading accuracy of up to 99%. High-tech sensors and PLCs rapidly detect items and determine their paths, while the efficient tray handling mechanism ensures swift and precise product separation, minimizing errors.

High Flexibility

The elimination of chain drives and wheel turning in the transmission system allows for distributed low-power motors to be placed at any point in the circular sorting setup. This design permits virtually unlimited sorter length and multiple destination paths. Its low-speed operation is also suitable for manual feeding without complex multi-level feeding systems.

Small Footprint

The innovative design of the Split Tray Sorter does not require additional multi-level feeding systems. Items can be sorted directly into bags or boxes, maximizing space efficiency. Its compact structure can be configured around factory columns, taking up minimal space overall.

Low Energy Consumption, Simple Structure, Low Maintenance

The sorter employs distributed low-power motor drives, contributing to significant energy savings. The mechanical unloading and resetting mechanisms are designed to avoid additional energy consumption beyond the main drive. The relatively low-speed operation minimizes wear and tear, extending the service life and reducing maintenance costs.

Modular Design

The entire machine features a modular design that facilitates quick assembly, disassembly, expansion, and relocation, making it a flexible solution for various sorting needs.

Application

Split tray sorters are ideal for high-speed automated sorting of small and medium-sized items across various industries. They are commonly used in sectors such as footwear, books, e-commerce, postal services, daily essentials, pharmaceuticals, and jewelry. For very small or lightweight items that pose challenges for other types of sorters, such as cross belt sorters, split tray sorters can effectively automate the sorting process.

These sorters are particularly effective in distribution centers that serve consumers directly, facilitating batch picking and sorting of discrete orders, including e-commerce goods, retail clothing, omnichannel logistics, store replenishment, and returns processing. However, they are not suitable for fragile items that cannot withstand impacts; for such specialized sorting needs, the RKSORT-NBS series sorters from Realkey are recommended.

Advantages

V-shaped Tray Design

The unique V-shaped tray design accommodates easily rollable items, whether they are lightweight or irregularly shaped. If it fits in the tray, the Split Tray Sorter can manage it efficiently.

Heavy-duty Tray Option

Our heavy-duty trays are engineered for demanding postal and courier environments, capable of withstanding significant loads, with each tray supporting up to 15 kilograms.

Merging Tray Technology

The patented double-row tray design allows two groups of trays in the same row to sort different items to separate destinations, while also enabling the merging of two trays to carry larger items for sorting.

Flat Stacking Technology

For folded garments, books, documents, and other flat items, products can drop directly into boxes or bags, typically eliminating the need for additional stacking labor.

Safety Design

The safety tray design allows for high sorting throughput even at lower speeds, with minimal gaps between trays. The design avoids sharp edges and reduces spacing between trays, ensuring operator safety.

Reliability

With 17 years of experience in logistics and automated sorting solutions, Realkey has established a strong reputation for delivering tailored sorting solutions. Our products are recognized for their durability and reliability, making us a trusted partner in the industry.
