Strong Flexibility Split Tray Sorter Suitable For Sorting A Variety Of Small And Medium-sized Items

The Split Tray Sorter (RKSORT-STS), also known as the Bombay Sorter, is a professional sorting solution developed by RKSORT to assist customers in achieving efficient sorting of small to medium-sized items, especially flat items.

The Split Tray Sorter typically adopts an elliptical horizontal ring layout with single or double-row tray arrangements. The items to be sorted are placed in the trays and travel along the track on the circular line. When they reach the designated position, the two halves of the tray open like movable doors, allowing the products to drop vertically into the chute below or into material boxes, thus completing the sorting action.

Due to the ability to simultaneously place items on double-row trays, the Split Tray Sorter operates at extremely high speeds, making it an exceptionally efficient sorting device capable of processing up to 21,600 trays per hour. It is particularly suitable for sorting clothing, express letters, printed materials, and other flat or non-fragile items, even irregularly shaped items can be easily sorted.

Technical Parameters

Product Features

Strong Applicability

The Split Tray Sorter employs trays to carry items, making it highly adaptable for sorting lightweight, floating, or circular items that are not suitable for sorting by Cross Belt Sorters. It can sort various packaging items, including boxes, plastic bags, cartons, tote bags, and soft packaging.

Low-Speed High-Efficiency Sorting

The sorting efficiency of the double-row Split Tray Sorter with its unique "one cart, two trays" structure is twice that of a Cross Belt Sorter with the same configuration. The sorting efficiency at a ring line speed of only 1.2m/s can reach 17,280 pieces per hour. With a dual-side feeding configuration, the maximum theoretical sorting efficiency can reach 34,560 pieces per hour.

High Sorting Accuracy

Equipped with advanced algorithmic intelligent cameras, the Split Tray Sorter allows reading codes in any direction, achieving a reading rate of up to 99%. High-tech sensors and PLCs can quickly detect products and determine their path direction. The simple and agile tray manipulation mechanism ensures rapid and accurate product separation, reducing the risk of errors.

High Flexibility

The elimination of chain drive and wheel turning in the transmission system allows distributed small-power motor drives to be deployed at any node of the circular sorting system according to the terrain. The length of the sorter is almost unlimited, allowing for any number of destination paths. At the same sorting efficiency, the low-speed walking of the Split Tray Sorter is suitable for manual feeding mode without the need for a multi-level feeding system.

Small Footprint

With its unique product design, no additional multi-level feeding system is required for loading, and items can be sorted directly into bags or boxes without the need for dedicated chutes. The compact overall structure design maximizes the use of space and can be arranged around factory columns, occupying a very small overall footprint.

Low Energy Consumption, Simple Structure, Low Maintenance:

Distributed low-power motor drives save energy. The unloading and resetting mechanism of the sorting cart adopts a purely mechanical structure design, with no additional energy consumption except for the main drive. The relatively low-speed operation ensures minimal wear, long service life, and low maintenance costs for the sorter.

Modular Design

The entire machine adopts standardized, modular design, supporting rapid assembly, disassembly, expansion, and relocation.

Application

Split tray sorters are ideal for environments requiring high-speed automated sorting of small and medium-sized items. They are commonly used in sectors such as footwear, books, e-commerce, postal services, daily essentials, pharmaceuticals, and jewelry. For very small or light items that present challenges for other types of sorters like cross belt sorters, split tray sorters can effectively automate the sorting process.

These sorters excel in distribution centers that directly serve consumers, facilitating batch picking and sorting for discrete orders, including e-commerce shipments, retail clothing, omnichannel logistics, store replenishment, and returns processing. However, they are not suitable for fragile items that cannot endure impacts; for such cases, the RKSORT-NBS series sorters from Realkey are recommended.

Advantages

V-shaped Tray Design

The innovative V-shaped tray design accommodates items that are easily rollable, whether they are lightweight or irregularly shaped. If it fits in the tray, the split tray sorter can handle it.

Heavy-duty Tray Option

Our heavy-duty trays are engineered for rigorous postal and courier environments, capable of supporting heavy loads, with each tray holding up to 15 kilograms.

Merging Tray Technology

Our patented double-row tray design enables two groups of trays in the same row to sort two different items to separate destinations, and also allows for merging two trays to transport larger items collectively.

Flat Stacking Technology

For folded garments, books, documents, and other flat items, products drop directly into boxes or bags, typically eliminating the need for additional stacking labor.

Safety Design

Our safety tray design enables high sorting throughput at lower speeds with minimal gaps between trays. With no sharp edges and closely spaced trays, safety measures ensure operator protection.

Reliability

With 17 years of expertise in logistics and automated sorting, Realkey provides exceptional sorting solutions. Our products are celebrated for their durability and reliability, making us a dependable partner.
