High Sorting Accuracy Split Tray Sorter Uses Advanced Algorithmic Cameras With A Reading Rate Of Up To 99.99%

The Split Tray Sorter, often referred to as the Bombay Sorter, is a state-of-the-art sorting solution created by Realkey, designed for the effective sorting of small to medium-sized items, particularly flat ones.

This sorter employs an elliptical horizontal ring layout with configurations available in single or double-row trays. Items to be sorted are placed in these trays and transported along a circular track. When they reach their designated positions, the two halves of the trays open like doors, enabling the items to drop vertically into chutes or material boxes, thus completing the sorting operation.

Thanks to its ability to place items on double-row trays simultaneously, the Split Tray Sorter operates at remarkable speeds, capable of processing up to 21,600 trays per hour. It is especially proficient in sorting clothing, express mail, printed materials, and other flat or non-fragile items, including those with irregular shapes.

Technical Parameters

Product Features

Strong Applicability

The Split Tray Sorter employs trays to carry items, making it highly adaptable for sorting lightweight, floating, or irregularly shaped items that may not be suitable for Cross Belt Sorters. It efficiently sorts a variety of packaging types, including boxes, plastic bags, cartons, tote bags, and soft packaging materials.

Low-Speed High-Efficiency Sorting

The unique "one cart, two trays" design of the double-row Split Tray Sorter allows for sorting efficiencies that are double those of similarly configured Cross Belt Sorters. At a ring line speed of just 1.2m/s, it can achieve sorting rates of up to 17,280 items per hour, with a dual-side feeding configuration potentially reaching a theoretical maximum of 34,560 items per hour.

High Sorting Accuracy

Featuring advanced intelligent cameras, the Split Tray Sorter can read codes from any angle, achieving a reading accuracy of up to 99%. High-tech sensors and PLCs quickly detect items and determine their paths, while the streamlined tray manipulation mechanism ensures rapid and precise product separation, significantly reducing error rates.

High Flexibility

By eliminating chain drives and wheel turning in the transmission system, the sorter can utilize distributed low-power motors at any point in the circular sorting setup. This design allows for virtually unlimited sorter length and multiple destination paths. Its low-speed operation also makes it suitable for manual feeding without the need for complex multi-level feeding systems.

Small Footprint

The innovative design of the Split Tray Sorter allows for the elimination of additional multi-level feeding systems. Items can be sorted directly into bags or boxes, optimizing space usage. Its compact structure can be configured around factory columns, occupying minimal space overall.

Low Energy Consumption, Simple Structure, Low Maintenance

Utilizing distributed low-power motor drives contributes to significant energy savings. The mechanical design of the unloading and resetting mechanisms avoids additional energy consumption beyond the main drive. The comparatively low-speed operation minimizes wear, extending the service life and reducing maintenance costs.

Modular Design

The entire machine features a modular design that supports quick assembly, disassembly, expansion, and relocation.

Application

Split tray sorters are ideal for high-speed automated sorting of small and medium-sized items across various industries. They are widely utilized in sectors such as footwear, books, e-commerce, postal services, daily necessities, pharmaceuticals, and jewelry. For small or lightweight items that present challenges for other types of sorters, such as cross belt sorters, split tray sorters can effectively automate the sorting process.

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

Advantages

V-shaped Tray Design

The innovative V-shaped tray design accommodates easily rollable items, whether lightweight or irregularly shaped. If it fits in the tray, the Split Tray Sorter can effectively manage it.

Heavy-duty Tray Option

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

Merging Tray Technology

The patented double-row tray design allows two groups of trays in the same row to sort different items to separate destinations, while also enabling two trays to merge for carrying larger items during sorting.

Flat Stacking Technology

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

Safety Design

The safety tray design allows for high sorting throughput even at lower speeds, with minimal gaps between trays. The design avoids sharp edges and reduces spacing between trays, ensuring operator safety.

Reliability

With 17 years of experience in logistics and automated sorting solutions, Realkey has a proven track record in delivering tailored sorting solutions. Our products are well-known for their durability and reliability, making us a trusted partner in the industry.
