Large Retail Warehouses Cross Belt Sorter Enhance Overall Sorting Efficiency
The Realkey Cross Belt Sorter is a state-of-the-art solution designed for the effective handling of a variety of items, including parcels and cartons. This sophisticated system integrates key components such as tracks, carts, cart belts, recognition technology, and communication systems. The carts are arranged in a continuous chain along a track, moving in parallel to form a mainline that intersects with the cart belts, giving rise to the name "Cross Belt Sorter." Items can be loaded onto the cart belts either manually or automatically, and as the carts approach specific sorting stations, the control system activates the belts for precise sorting.
Available in both circular and linear configurations, these sorters are engineered for high throughput. Circular models can achieve speeds of up to 2 meters per second, processing as many as 22,000 items per hour, while linear models can reach speeds of 1.5 meters per second and handle up to 8,000 items per hour. Such systems are widely utilized in industries that require high efficiency and multi-directional sorting, including express delivery, e-commerce, apparel, food services, cosmetics, airports, and pharmaceuticals.

Application
Postal and Express Delivery
Cross belt sorting machines are frequently used in regional distribution centers, transfer stations, and medium to large postal and express delivery branches. These facilities manage significant sorting volumes and require automated solutions to streamline operations. As sorting demands increase and labor costs rise, cross belt sorters—especially linear models—are becoming favored for their compact and adaptable designs.
E-Commerce and Global Trade
The explosive growth of e-commerce has caused a notable surge in parcel volumes, particularly during peak shopping seasons. Cross belt sorting systems effectively address the varying needs of different markets during these crucial times. They are commonly employed in sectors such as tobacco, fashion, maternity products, supermarkets, and pharmaceuticals.
Advantages
Intelligent Vision Systems
REALKEY cross belt sorting machines can be outfitted with cutting-edge vision inspection technology tailored to specific requirements. This feature enables real-time monitoring and fault detection for each cart. Carts that encounter issues are isolated to prevent further circulation of parcels, and timely alerts are sent to users, reducing operational disruptions (requires automatic feeding stations).
Enhanced Cart Linkage Technology
By leveraging REALKEY's advanced recognition systems and programming algorithms, the sorter can transport smaller parcels simultaneously on a single cart while sorting larger parcels with two carts. This capability allows the handling of items up to 1.2 meters long without sacrificing efficiency or incurring extra costs, significantly expanding the equipment's application range.
Automated Maintenance Management
Users can issue maintenance commands for specific carts via the operating interface, enabling those carts to autonomously navigate to designated maintenance stations. This automation minimizes the need for manual oversight and enhances maintenance efficiency.
Proven Durability
With 17 years of experience in the logistics and automated sorting sector, REALKEY has developed a reputation for delivering tailored sorting solutions. Our products are recognized for their reliability and durability, establishing us as a trusted partner for all sorting needs.
