Primary Components of Sortation/Classifying Systems Infeed Conveyor to promote consistent spacing for the weighing process and/or allow manipulation by operators for grade determination Conveyor Scale to weigh product for sort parameter determination Sorting Conveyor to transport product to classification bins and divert locations Diverts to sort product by mechanical means (i.e. pull/push/drop/tip/plow/air blow/shoe-sort, etc.) Bins to collect product for eventual trimming, further processing, boxing, bag filling, etc. Optional trimming scale work stations for further processing of product before boxing, bagging, case filling, etc. Our Sorter Can: Sort by distance-based encoding to assure divert accuracy vs. problematic timer-based classifying systems Change the divert configuration while the system is sorting to allow maximum production flexibility Show product totals by grade, count, weight and product type Generate reports of current and total divert counts – allowing display with current and total divert accumulations View digital inputs, communication inputs, input buffers, divert buffers, group values … Continue reading Product Sortation Systems
