Driving efficiencies

A revamped belt tray sorter is among the products being showcased by Beumer at CeMAT. It will also present a more efficient drive system with significantly increased performance and a redesigned machine in the Beumer stretch hood series.

These tailor-made solutions are a response to changing consumption patterns and to eCommerce, a major driver of growth.

Visitors to the trade show will be able to see the 40-metre-long BS 7 BT belt tray sorter in action. Beumer has equipped the machine with a variety of modules and functions, thus demonstrating how it can accommodate users’ individual requirements.

An example is the manual input station, which provides a low-cost means of loading items onto the sorter. Another module consists of a camera system that reads barcodes on products right when they are loaded. If the system cannot recognise the barcode, it does not feed the product.

There is also a tool which corrects errors in the sorting process, in this way improving accuracy. A correcting frame detects the position of the product on the belt tray element. If the item is too far to the left or right on the belt, the system pushes it back to the middle, ensuring a secure and reliable sorting process at all times. Hall 27, Stand H32.
