Customized Design Cross Belt Sorter Increases Warehouse Utilization Rate

Reduces Operational Errors Cross Belt Sorter Increases Warehouse Utilization Rate

The Cross Belt Sorter (RKSORT-CBS) is a cutting-edge solution designed specifically for the efficient sorting of parcels and cartons of various sizes. This sorting system incorporates essential components, including tracks, carts, cart belts, recognition systems, and communication networks. The carts are arranged in a continuous line on the track, moving parallel to form the mainline, which intersects with the belts on the carts, giving rise to its name, "Cross Belt Sorter." During operation, items can be placed on the cart belts either manually or via automated systems. When the carts reach their designated sorting points, the control system activates the belts to facilitate sorting and dispatching.

Cross belt sorters are typically categorized into two main layouts: circular and linear. Circular cross belt sorters feature a flat circular design, achieving a mainline speed of up to 2 meters per second and sorting capacities of up to 22,000 items per hour. Conversely, linear cross belt sorters utilize a straight configuration, operating at speeds of up to 1.5 meters per second and sorting up to 8,000 items per hour. These sorters are extensively used across industries that demand high efficiency, multi-directional sorting capabilities, and optimized space utilization, including express delivery, e-commerce, apparel, food, cosmetics, airports, and pharmaceuticals.

Technical Parameters

Product Features

Reliable and Established

The cross belt sorting system is particularly effective for sorting small to medium-sized parcels, accommodating the specifications for most express and e-commerce package types. It provides multiple sorting chutes and demonstrates remarkable flexibility. The system is recognized for its stable performance in logistics sorting operations worldwide, supported by established technical solutions.

Versatile Sorting Capabilities

The robust design of the cross belt sorting system allows it to handle a high capacity for processing diverse items. It can effectively sort cartons, envelopes, parcels, clothing, and products packaged in plastic film, among others. Equipment specifications can be tailored to meet specific site requirements, with sorting chutes available in various lengths and widths (e.g., 600mm, 700mm, 750mm, 1000mm). The modular design of the cart track enables flexible adaptation to different site dimensions and specifications.

Streamlined Loading Operations

Depending on user workflows and requirements, the cross belt sorting system can be loaded manually or integrated with an automatic feeding platform for scanning, weighing, and loading. Operators can quickly initiate operations with minimal training and clear instructions.

Modular Architecture

The cross belt sorting system benefits from standardized components and a lightweight design, ensuring high efficiency throughout production, transport, assembly, and commissioning processes. This modular approach allows for rapid responses to customer needs and enhances the efficiency of equipment maintenance.

Cost-Effective Solutions

With its high sorting efficiency, the cross belt sorter significantly reduces the workload on operators, optimizing human resource allocation, lowering labor and management costs for businesses, and facilitating swift growth.

Application

Postal and Express Delivery Industry

Cross belt sorting machines are widely utilized in regional distribution centers, transfer stations, and medium to large branches of postal and express delivery companies. These facilities often encounter high sorting demands and require automated solutions to efficiently process large volumes. As sorting demands in smaller branches increase and labor costs rise, cross belt sorting machines, particularly linear models with compact designs, have become increasingly popular.

E-Commerce and Cross-Border Shipping

The rapid expansion of e-commerce has led to significant increases in parcel volumes during peak shopping seasons. Cross belt sorting machines provide efficient sorting solutions to meet the evolving demands of various markets and industries, including sectors such as tobacco, fashion, maternity products, supermarkets, and pharmaceuticals.

Advantages

Vision Inspection Technology

Realkey cross belt sorting machines can be equipped with intelligent vision inspection capabilities tailored to specific user requirements. This feature enables real-time tracking and fault detection for all operational carts. Carts that encounter problems will be isolated to halt parcel circulation, and notifications will be sent to users to prevent conflicts and downstream process failures (this feature requires the configuration of automatic feeding stations).

Dual-Cart Linkage Technology

Realkey’s advanced recognition technology allows for the simultaneous transport and sorting of small parcels by one cart and larger parcels by two carts into sorting chutes. This capability enables the handling of parcels up to 1.2 meters in length without sacrificing efficiency or incurring additional costs.

Automated Fault Navigation

When maintenance is required for a cart, users can initiate commands through the operating interface, causing the cart to automatically navigate to a designated maintenance station. This feature enhances maintenance efficiency by eliminating the need for manual retrieval.

Proven Reliability

With 17 years of experience in logistics conveyance and automatic sorting, Realkey offers unique advantages in developing tailored sorting solutions for clients. Our products are known for their durability, establishing RKSORT as a trusted partner in the industry.
