S7000 Bi-directional Modular Plastic Belt Sorter
The Intralox S7000 Sorter bi-directionally sorts a wide range of products at high throughput rates. All moving parts on this “touchless” system are contained within the machine, below the conveying surface, providing gentle product handling and improved operator safety.
Typically, this technology is ideal for applications requiring:
- Bi-directional and uni-sorting of products that typically cause problems on conventional sorters (small, long, flat, large, heavy products or products with irregular shapes or bottoms)
- Bi-directional sorting with exits placed opposite form each other at throughput rates over 100 cases per minute, up to 360 cases per minute (based on an average carton length of 4”)
- Bi-directional sorting to divert zones with very close centerlines in th shortest possible footprint.
How S7000 Bi-directional Sorter Works
The S7000 Roller Top belt surface is activated by a series of rack and pinion rollers mounted below the belt. By altering the angle of the rollers located underneath the belt surface, either pneumatically or electrically, the resulting action is to spin the rollers on the belt surface in either the left or right sort direction. This activation system provides the ability to divert products in either direction at high speeds with as little as 4” gap between products.
Due to the roller density of the S7000 belt surface, nearly any product or configuration can be effectively diverted efficiently with positive control. Additionally, the system allows divert zones to be located directly adjacent to each other providing for the smallest footprint possible while virtually unlimited in length or number of divert zones.
S7000 Bi-directional Sorter Benefits
- High Throughput
The Intralox S7000 sorter sorts up to 360 cases per minute, without the complexity and cost of very high speed sorters.
*Throughput depends on product size and local conditions - Wine Product Range
The system handles a large range of product shapes, sizes and types.- As small as 2” x 2” to virtually no maximum size.
- Oval, round and other irregular shapes.
- Products with odd-shaped bottoms (e.g., bundles, ploybags, PET bottles)
- Flat products (e.g., envelopes)
- Corrugated, shrink wrapped and other package types.
- Competitive Cost
When applied in the situations listed, the S7000 Sorter is a more economical choice than other sorters on the market. - Bi-directional Sorting
The Intralox S7000 Sorter has truly bi-directional diverts.exit zones can be placed directly across from each other. - Increased safety
There are no moving parts outside of the machine housing, increasing the safety for operators and preventing product damage. - Smaller Footprint
No special induction necessary, divert zones can be placed as close as 16” from the sorter infeed. - Flexibility
The modular design of the S7000 Sorter enables divert zones to be placed on both sides of the sorter, directly across form each other, staggered, or even without spacing in between. With most S7000 Sorter designs, it is also possible to add, remove or relocate the placement of divert points.
