Accurately Distribute Goods
Sortation conveyors are designed to automate the sorting and distribution of goods. Advanced technology facilitate the categorization of products based on pre-determined criteria such as size, weight or destination. These specialized material handling systems are essential components for warehouses and distribution centers striving for optimal productivity and accuracy in sorting .
How Sortation Conveyors Work
Sortation conveyors utilize speed, automation and precise tracking to streamline the sorting process. As items are transported across the conveyor belt, advanced sensors identify their characteristics including size, weight or barcode. The system then uses automated diverters or gates to direct items to the appropriate locations. The result is a highly organized flow of goods, minimizing manual handling and ensuring accurate order fulfillment.
