Intelligent Operations Reduce Errors Cross Belt Sorter Decrease Overtime Requirements
The Realkey Cross Belt Sorter is an innovative solution designed to efficiently handle a wide range of items, including parcels and cartons. This advanced system integrates critical components such as tracks, carts, cart belts, recognition technologies, and communication systems. The carts are arranged in a continuous chain along the track, moving parallel to create a mainline that intersects with the cart belts, giving the system its name, "Cross Belt Sorter." Items can be loaded onto the cart belts either manually or automatically, and as the carts approach designated sorting stations, the control system activates the belts for precise sorting.
Available in two configurations—circular and linear—cross belt sorters are built for high performance. Circular models can achieve sorting speeds of up to 2 meters per second, capable of processing as many as 22,000 items per hour. Linear models, operating in a straight line, can reach speeds of up to 1.5 meters per second and handle up to 8,000 items per hour. These systems are widely used in industries that require high throughput and multiple sorting directions, including express delivery, e-commerce, apparel, food services, cosmetics, airports, and pharmaceuticals.

Application
Postal and Express Delivery
Cross belt sorting machines are frequently deployed in regional distribution centers, transfer stations, and medium to large branches of postal and express delivery companies. These facilities handle substantial sorting volumes and necessitate automated solutions for efficient operations. As sorting demands rise and labor costs increase, cross belt sorters—especially linear models—have gained popularity for their compact and flexible designs.
E-Commerce and Global Trade
The rapid growth of e-commerce has led to a significant surge in parcel volumes during peak shopping periods. Cross belt sorting machines provide effective solutions that address the diverse requirements of various markets during these critical times. They are commonly utilized in industries such as tobacco, fashion, maternity products, supermarkets, and pharmaceuticals.
Advantages
Intelligent Vision Systems
REALKEY cross belt sorting machines can be outfitted with advanced vision inspection technology tailored to specific user needs. This capability enables real-time monitoring and fault detection for each operational cart. Carts that encounter issues are isolated to prevent further parcel circulation, and timely alerts are sent to users, minimizing operational disruptions (requires automatic feeding stations).
Enhanced Cart Linkage Technology
By utilizing REALKEY's advanced recognition systems and programming algorithms, the sorter allows for the simultaneous transport of smaller parcels with a single cart, while larger parcels are sorted using two carts. This feature supports handling items up to 1.2 meters long without sacrificing efficiency or incurring additional costs, significantly broadening the application range of the equipment.
Automated Maintenance Management
Users can issue maintenance commands for specific carts through the operating interface, allowing those carts to autonomously navigate to designated maintenance stations. This automation reduces the need for manual intervention and greatly enhances maintenance efficiency.
Proven Durability
With 17 years of expertise in the logistics and automated sorting industry, REALKEY is well-equipped to deliver tailored sorting solutions. Our products are known for their robustness and reliability, establishing us as a trusted partner for all sorting requirements.
