Crossbelt Sorter Systems
In logistics, a cross belt sorter is a type of conveyor-based sortation system. It consists of a chain of independently operated short conveyor belts mounted transversely along the main track.
There are a variety of different cross-belt sorters — each industry and each cross-belt sorter manufacturer can have unique products. Nevertheless, the standard two are horizontal cross-belt sorters and vertical cross-belt sorters.
In general Cross Belt Sorters are mostly the best automation technology for operations that requires high capacity and high number of outbound destinations with a wide range of products to be handled.
