Variety Of Tray Options Low Failure Rate Split Tray Sorter Effective Space Utilization
The Split Tray Sorter, popularly known as the Bombay Sorter, is a forward-thinking solution from Realkey, crafted to tackle the sorting of small to medium-sized items, with a focus on flat products. Its elliptical, horizontal ring structure comes in single or double-row tray setups. Items ride these trays around a circular path, and at set locations, the trays split open like gates, letting contents fall into chutes or bins to wrap up the sorting.
By loading dual-row trays at once, this system hits speeds of up to 21,600 trays per hour, making it a star for sorting apparel, quick mail, printed items, and non-fragile goods—even those with odd shapes. Curious for more? See the product breakdown below or get in touch with Realkey’s team.

Product Features
Strong Applicability
With trays guiding the way, this sorter handles lightweight, floaty, or unconventional items that Cross Belt Sorters can’t manage, sorting boxes, bags, cartons, and soft packs effortlessly.
Low-Speed High-Efficiency Sorting
The double-row “one cart, two trays” innovation doubles the output of rival systems. At a relaxed 1.2m/s, it sorts 17,280 items hourly, with dual-side feeding capable of reaching 34,560 items in theory.
High Sorting Accuracy
Smart cameras catch codes from any direction with 99% success, paired with sensors and PLCs that pinpoint routes fast, ensuring trays deliver items right where they belong.
High Flexibility
