Double Row Trays Split Tray Sorter Allows Simultaneous Processing Of Two Groups Of Items

The Split Tray Sorter, often referred to as the Bombay Sorter, is a sophisticated sorting solution developed by RKSORT, specifically tailored for the efficient handling of small to medium-sized items, particularly flat products. This sorter features an elliptical horizontal ring layout, available in both single and double-row configurations. Items 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, allowing items to drop vertically into chutes or material boxes, effectively completing the sorting process.

The Split Tray Sorter is designed for high efficiency, capable of processing up to 21,600 trays per hour due to its ability to load items on double-row trays simultaneously. It excels 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

Utilizing trays for item transportation, the Split Tray Sorter is highly adaptable for sorting lightweight, floating, or irregularly shaped items that may not be suitable for Cross Belt Sorters. It can efficiently handle various packaging types, including boxes, plastic bags, cartons, tote bags, and soft packaging.

Low-Speed High-Efficiency Sorting

The innovative "one cart, two trays" mechanism of the double-row Split Tray Sorter enables sorting efficiencies that surpass those of similar Cross Belt Sorters. Operating 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 setup capable of reaching a theoretical maximum of 34,560 items per hour.

High Sorting Accuracy

Equipped with 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 efficient tray handling mechanism ensures swift and precise product separation, minimizing error rates.

High Flexibility

The elimination of chain drives and wheel turning in its transmission system allows for distributed low-power motors to be positioned anywhere along the circular sorting path. This configuration allows for virtually unlimited sorter length and multiple destination paths. Its low-speed operation is also suitable for manual feeding without complex multi-level feeding requirements.

Small Footprint

The innovative design of the Split Tray Sorter removes the need for additional multi-level feeding systems. Items can be sorted directly into bags or boxes, maximizing space efficiency. Its compact structure can be configured around factory columns, taking up minimal overall space.

Low Energy Consumption, Simple Structure, Low Maintenance

The sorter employs distributed low-power motor drives, leading to significant energy savings. Its mechanical unloading and resetting mechanisms are designed to minimize additional energy consumption beyond the main drive. The low-speed operation reduces wear and tear, extending service life and reducing maintenance costs.

Modular Design

The entire machine features a modular design that supports quick assembly, disassembly, expansion, and relocation, making it a versatile solution for various sorting applications.

Application

Split tray sorters are ideal for high-speed automated sorting of small and medium-sized items across various industries. They are commonly used in sectors such as footwear, books, e-commerce, postal services, daily essentials, pharmaceuticals, and jewelry. For very 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 specialized sorting needs, the RKSORT-NBS series sorters from Realkey are recommended.

Advantages

V-shaped Tray Design

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

Heavy-duty Tray Option

Our heavy-duty trays are engineered for rigorous postal and courier environments, capable of supporting significant loads, with each tray handling 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 the merging of two trays to carry 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. This 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 recognized for their durability and reliability, making us a trusted partner in the industry.
