The Cross Belt Sorter is an automated device for sorting goods based on sales orders. Products are placed on large, quadrangular belts-trays manually or automatically. At the right place, the belt-tray directs the goods on it in one or the other direction (right or left). The sorter can be oval, U-shaped or linear. The design of the device is influenced by the available space for installation and the number of channels and target slots necessary for maximum optimization of the system's efficiency. The Cross Belt Sorter allows for the creation of several sorting areas with just one cycle.
