How Cross Belt Sorters Work
The main sorter component, known as the carrier, consists of a series of carts which are actually small bi-directional conveyor belts. The configuration of the cross belt sorter can either be in a straight line or in a loop, and these sorters can process from 60 to 500 parts per minute. The horizontal discharge of product occurs at 90 degrees to the carrier, providing a very high density of divert locations. Current generation cross belt sorters employ linear induction motor technology, resulting in a simpler design and less mechanical wear.
