Cross belt sorter solution

13 February 2014

Centred around its latest generation 3 Crossbelt Sorter, Dematic has provided video game distributor, Centresoft, with a high speed sortation system to increase productivity at its Birmingham warehouse.

The Crossbelt Sorter is a high rate, high accuracy sorting solution which provides positive sorting using discrete belt conveyors mounted on carriers in a re-circulating loop configuration.

With the new system, Centresoft can sort up to 15,000 items per hour – using Dematic’s fully automatic singulation and separation conveyor system and single high speed induction unit – on to the cross belt sorter (a single induction unit capable of 15,000 items per hour).

The installation took approximately 9 weeks to implement and the footprint was very small, built on a mezzanine floor in the warehouse.
