Efficient Space Utilization Tilt Tray Sorter Sorting Of Books, Newspapers And Periodicals

The tilt tray sorter (RKSORT-TTS), often referred to as the flip tray sorter, is a cost-effective and efficient sorting system developed by RKSORT, designed to handle small to medium-sized packages for various customer needs.

This sophisticated device comprises tray carriers, conveyor systems, tilting mechanisms, identification units, control systems, and track frames, utilizing horizontal continuous conveying. Items are loaded onto trays mounted on mobile carts, which navigate along a track. Upon reaching the designated location, the tilting mechanism activates, causing the tray to tilt and release the items, thus completing the sorting process.

Thanks to the tray design, the tilt tray sorter can accommodate a diverse array of items, including parcels, boxes, envelopes, and even cylindrical or spherical objects that might roll off other sorting systems.

RKSORT's tilt tray sorter can process approximately 7200-10800 items per hour, depending on the model, effectively addressing the high-throughput sorting requirements of industries such as postal services, logistics, e-commerce, fashion, and fresh food distribution.

Technical Parameters

Product Features

Strong Versatility

Utilizing trays for item transport, the tilt tray sorter demonstrates exceptional versatility in sorting lightweight and irregularly shaped products that may not be suitable for cross belt sorting systems. It efficiently handles various packaging types, including boxes, bags, cartons, and soft packages.

High Efficiency

With a theoretical sorting capacity of up to 8640 items per hour at a main loop speed of just 1.2m/s, this sorter is highly efficient. When equipped with dual-end feeding, it can achieve a theoretical sorting capacity of up to 17280 items per hour.

Precise Sorting

The sorter is equipped with cutting-edge algorithmic intelligent cameras that can read codes from any angle, achieving a reading rate of up to 99%. High-tech sensors and PLCs facilitate rapid product detection and routing, ensuring quick and accurate sorting while minimizing errors.

Flexibility

The drive system avoids traditional chain drives and wheel turns, using tray carts for connectivity, which allows both clockwise and counterclockwise turns. The distributed motor drive can be positioned anywhere along the sorting system, accommodating virtually any number of destination routes with no length limitations.

Compact Design

Designed to eliminate the need for additional multi-stage supply stations, the tilt tray sorter allows items to be sorted directly into bags or boxes. This compact design optimally utilizes available space, enabling installation around factory pillars while maintaining a small overall footprint.

Modular Structure, Low Energy Use, Simple Maintenance

The sorter features a standardized, modular design for easy installation, relocation, and expansion. It is built to be robust, durable, easy to maintain, and cost-effective in terms of operation and upkeep.

Application

The tilt tray sorter is widely used in automated sorting environments, including postal services, express delivery, e-commerce, fashion, literature, everyday items, fresh produce, pharmaceuticals, and jewelry.

For very small, lightweight, or irregularly shaped items that may not be effectively handled by cross belt sorters, the tilt tray sorter provides an efficient automated sorting solution.

It's particularly well-suited for large-scale consumer distribution centers, facilitating batch selection and sorting of small products for individual orders, such as e-commerce items, retail clothing, omnichannel logistics, store restocking, and returns processing.

However, it is not ideal for fragile items that cannot endure impacts. For such specialized needs, Realkey recommends the RKSORT-NBS series sorters.
