Key Figures of the MicroSorter
The MicroSorter, a compact and scalable sorting system, is specifically designed to efficiently and systematically handle orders and Parcels. Each MicroSorter unit, depending on the configuration, can process up to 1,500 items per hour to a maximum number of outputs on a very small area. The types of outputs that can be sorted to are diverse, including bags, roll containers, bins/crates, carton boxes, gravity rollers, conveyors, and chutes.
The MicroSorter can handle products from 75 x 50 x 5 mm to 575 x 375 x 300 mm, with the maximum weight of the items being sorted at 10 kg. The MicroSorter can be operated as a standalone unit or can be linked with Pusher-, Shoe-, and Crossbelt Sorters for secondary sorting.
After the successful introduction of the MicroSorter at LogiMat 2024 in Stuttgart, the MicroSorter has proven to be suitable for a wide range of companies – from webshops and logistics fulfillment centres to any company involved in post and parcel sorting.
