Swiss sorter firm launches to UK
FERAG HAS launched its hi-tech, Swiss engineered overhead pouch and sorter systems to the UK market.
The technology is said to offer retail, ecommerce, automotive and general merchandise businesses reliable, high-performance conveying and sortation at speeds of up to 12,000 units per hour.
Ferag UK managing director Darcy de Thierry, says: “British retailers and manufacturers are experiencing huge structural change. The growing focus for most is on eCommerce orders, which places a heavy emphasis on high-performance fulfillment operations capable of handling thousands upon thousands of single or few-item orders a day.
“Automated systems, such as overhead pouch and sortation solutions, facilitate fast picking, making them increasingly critical to maintaining and growing order volumes. But businesses cannot afford for them to fail – they need well engineered solutions using only the best, hard-wearing components and low-friction materials. That’s where Ferag’s extensive experience within the newspaper industry – where reliability is paramount – will be a tremendous advantage to the UK market.”
Principle products in Ferag’s extensive range of innovative sorters and conveyors include: Skyfall, an overhead pouch system that combines conveying, buffering, sorting and consolidating, suited to a wide variety of goods weighing up to 20kg. The solution makes efficient use of available overhead space; Denisort, a tilt-tray sorter that provides order picking, conveying and sorting in one seamless and scalable solution; Denisort Compact, a modular vertical sorter designed for items weighing up to 12Kg; Deniway, a plate chain conveyor with low-friction rollers for long conveying distances, offering smooth transfers with the minimum number of drive units; and Easychain, a largely maintenance-free continuous and seamless conveying system with an ultra-narrow curve radii, making it well suited to complex, 3D layouts.
Ferag has installed intelligent conveyor and sortation systems for some of the world’s largest brands, such as: DHL, Zalando, and AstraZeneca. It provides remote and condition monitoring 24/7 and replacement components are readily available to a UK based nationwide team of service engineers.
Ferag will exhibit at the Retail Supply Chain & Logistics Expo, 2nd- 3rd March 2022, ExCel, London (Stand SC2460).
