BEUMER Tilt-Tray Sortation Systems

The BEUMER Group portfolio of Tilt-tray sortation systems includes the BEUMER Tilt Tray Sorter and the Crisplant LS-4000E Tilt-tray sorter. With a high amount of installations worldwide, BEUMER Group sortation equipment and software are critical components of today's most sophisticated and highest-throughput automated material handling systems.

BEUMER|Tilt-Tray Sorter

The BEUMER Tilt-Tray Sorter is the basic building-block of our range. These mechanical tilting elements enable goods to be discharged on either side, in a guided, two-dimensional process. That means the item glides out of the tray without any 'catapult effect', and has a much lower speed when it leaves the tray than in other comparable systems. This enables large letters, small packages, parcels and any other sorted items to be transported safely and discharged exactly in the right place.

BEUMER|E Tray Sorter

In the BEUMER E Tray Sorter, energy is supplied to the tilting elements via a contact-free power supply, which makes the tilting and running of the system quieter. The E Tray tilt element is motor-driven without mechanical activation. For this purpose each tilt element is equipped with a DC gear box motor which carries out the tilting and set up of the tray by means of a patented circular gear disc. The main characteristic of this drive concept is the resulting self-locking of the tray in the home position which transfers the load force to the carriage eliminating stress forces during the loading of the articles to be sorted onto the tray. Because the tilting movement is isolated from the sorting speed, this speed can be increased considerably.

By individually adjusting the start position of each discharge sequence, higher filling rates can be achieved at the destinations. The extensive use of proven technologies and reliable components, the BEUMER E Tray Sorter provides high reliability with maintenance costs that are significantly lower than those of conventional sorters. The unique contactless energy supply system keeps operating costs at a minimum - and the modular design concept means that systems can be configured to ideally suit your building's floor space without having to compromise system performance.

Features:

  • Exceptional sorting quality
  • Gentle handling of single-item goods
  • Sturdy build
  • Low-maintenance tilting element, electrical or mechanical
  • Guided, two-dimensional discharge process
  • Low-maintenance and low-wear linear motor drive
  • Extremely quiet, thus creating a pleasant atmosphere for your employees
  • Modular in design and therefore highly flexible

Optional Equipment:|Double Density (DD) Trays

In order to allow for high-troughput applications, two trays can be mounted side-by-side while travelling on the same carriage, effectively doubling the number of trays in the system and the sorter capacity. Each tray can be tilted individually; however, each tray can only be tilted to one side (left trays to left-hand chutes, right trays to righthand chutes). As a result, double density sorter systems typically utilize a pre-sortation to assign sort items to the appropriate induction area.

Crisplant LS-4000E|Tilt-Tray Sortation System

The Crisplant LS-4000E Tilt-Tray high-speed loop sorters from Crisplant feature the highest layout flexibility with reduced installation and commissioning time. The new sortation technology delivers real environmental benefits with reduced carbon dioxide emissions and increased energy efficiency to provide the lowest product life cycle cost (PLCC).

The LS-4000E is a high capacity system, which quickly and accurately sorts items using a new state-of-the-art energy system. Equipped with an energy-efficient linear synchronous motor (LSM), the LS-4000E reduces the overall PLCC substantially without sacrificing speed, capacity, and reliability. The high-speed LSM eliminates contact between moving parts, leading to low wear-and-tear and low noise levels.

Features:

  • High capacity sortation
  • New Linear Synchronous Motor (LSM) improves electrical efficiency
  • Improved product life cycle cost (PLCC)
  • Modular platform for flexible layout
  • Optimised induction algorithm to ensure highest possible utilisation of capacity
  • Optimised conditions for integration into an existing environment
