Automated Classification Tilt Tray Sorter Automatic Identification System

The tilt tray sorter, developed by Realkey, is an economical and effective sorting device designed to manage small and medium-sized packages efficiently. This innovative sorting solution is perfect for a wide range of applications.

The tilt tray sorter consists of several essential components, including tray carriers, conveying devices, tilting mechanisms, identification systems, control systems, and track frames, all functioning through horizontal continuous conveying. Items are carried on trays mounted on motorized carts. When these carts reach their designated sorting points, the tilting mechanism engages, causing the items to slide out of the trays for sorting.

Thanks to its design, the tilt tray sorter can accommodate a broad spectrum of items, from parcels and boxes to envelopes and even cylindrical or spherical items that are difficult to sort using conventional machines.

Depending on the specific model, the Realkey tilt tray sorter achieves a processing capacity of around 7,200 to 10,800 items per hour, effectively supporting the high-efficiency sorting requirements of various sectors, including postal services, courier operations, e-commerce, the fashion industry, and fresh produce logistics.

Technical Parameters

Application

The tilt tray sorter is extensively utilized across various sectors that require automated sorting capabilities. Its applications range from postal services and express delivery to e-commerce, apparel, books and periodicals, daily essentials, fresh produce, pharmaceuticals, and jewelry. This sorting technology is particularly effective in managing very small, lightweight items and irregularly shaped products that other sorting systems, such as cross belt sorters, may struggle to handle.

Tilt tray sorters are especially beneficial in high-volume consumer-facing distribution centers, facilitating efficient batch selection and sorting tailored to specific orders. This includes e-commerce products, retail clothing, omnichannel logistics, third-party logistics, store replenishment, and returns management. However, tilt tray sorters are not designed for fragile items that cannot withstand impacts. For such delicate items, the Realkey series sorters are recommended.
