Matrix sorter
A grid of standard belt cells: small footprint, destinations added or removed as needed.
A grid of standard belt cells: small footprint, destinations added or removed as needed.
A matrix sorter routes parcels along any path through a grid of small belt cells to their destinations, without a loop sorter or spiral chutes. It suits buildings with low clear height, irregular floor plans or frequently changing destinations, and cells can be added over time. Throughput sits between a swivel-wheel and a cross-belt sorter.
Typical uses
- Buildings too low for a loop sorter
- E-commerce sites where destinations change often
- Returns and reverse-logistics sorting
- Secondary sort behind a primary sorter
