S-3000CB Cross-Belt Sorter

 Inducting parcels onto a cross-belt Order fulfillment using a cross-belt sorter


The S-3000CB Cross-Belt Sorter is designed to transport and sort items that present difficulties during traditional sortation, such as fragile and high-friction items. It also accommodates a wide mix of package types within an individual batch of sorted items. The gentle belt sorting allows for the horizontal discharge of items to ensure precise position and orientation throughout the entire sortation process. System speed during operation can be up to 2.4 m/s (472 ft./min.) at just 65 dB(A).

The versatile S-3000CB uses a non-proprietary control system for maximum flexibility and includes an array of induction options, from multiple small items on one carrier to longer, heavier items spanning more than one carrier. Combining a scalable design with the ability to sort heavy items to one side of a discharge and smaller, fragile items to the other, this system can be installed in any size facility and tailored to fit a wide range of products. When it comes to sorting difficult items with complex layouts, the S-3000CB has the flexibility to handle it quickly, dependably, and accurately.

With more than 900 sortation systems installed worldwide, FKI Logistex is the industry leader in high-speed sortation, catering to all types of distribution requirements. S-3000CB sortation systems are used within a broad spectrum of applications including distribution, freight and parcel, and manufacturing.

Features
Standard sorter has a single cross-belt unit per cart. An optional two cross-belt unit per cart version allows bridging units for oversize items
Compact design formed steel bed section with extruded aluminum guide rail system.
Power can be supplied using a conductor rail or optional inductive power transfer method.
Open standard industrial network control design and standard I/O hardware ensure system upgradeability over the life of the system.

Benefits
Carriers accelerate to match induction belt speed resulting in more positive handling items being sorted.
Sort discharge can be optimized to a specific product rather than averaged across a range of product.
Discharge from a carrier is more accurate allowing for closer chute centers or selective positioning of sorted items within a chute.
Modular frame and cart design to reduce the amount of time required for commissioning.
New design has less moving parts to wear, increasing system life.
