Sortation Systems, Conveyor Sortation, & Sorters
Bastian Material Handling has a strong history of installing many types of sortation systems across various industries. Let us help you achieve new levels of automated sortation accuracy.
Sorters & Sortation Conveyors
Sorters are the ideal solution for separating products from in-feed conveyor lines to; shipping lanes, palletizing operations, packing stations & other sortation applications. Soters can sort a wide range of product sizes and weights to multiple divert lanes. Learn more about Plastic Belt, Cross Belt, Paddle, Pusher, Narrow Belt, Pivot Wheel, & Tilt Tray sorters!
Merge & Combiner Conveyors
Combiners & Merges are used to merge the flow of multiple lines of conveyor into a single stream of product on a single conveyor. Combiners and merges include the technologies of sawtooth merges, belt merges, switch tables, herring bone roller combiners, "belt to roller" merges, magna switches, and bi-directional transfers.
Gapping Belt Induction Conveyors
Gapping belt conveyor is used when gaps between incoming product need to be pulled prior to the sortation technology. By accelerating or decelerating gapping belt conveyor you maximize the throughput and performance of your sortation equipment.
In-Line Scales
In-Line Scales automaticlly provide you with accurate carton weights for shipping operations. Efficient conveyor systems can be directed to the sort your products into carrier based shipping lines allowing you to send cartons via the most cost effective carrie for your exact carton weight and size.
In-Line Scanners
In-Line Scanners identify your products either by barcode or rfid and then update the soration lane assignment jsut before performing the automated sortation process.
Descrambler-Singulation-Depalletizing Conveyors
Singulation Conveyors take a group of side by side products and form them into a straight line with proper justification. Singluation results in the product being properly prepared for downstream events such as merging, print and apply, or sortation. Singulation Conveyors are also perfect for depalletizing product where an entire layer is deposited and broken up to prepare for further processing.
Accumulation Conveyor Systems
Accumulation Conveyor Systems ensure that your products arrive at the end of the line without damages which often occur when products smash together on a conveyor line. Choose from Zero Pressure, Minimum Pressure, 24 Volt, or Indexing Belt Accumulation Conveyors.
Conveyors & Conveyor Equipment
A wide variety of specialized conveyors and conveyor equipment is often needed to create the perfect conveyor system. Bastian manufactures many types of custom conveyors: including belt conveyors, roller conveyors, accumulation conveyors, gravity conveyors, flexible conveyors, plastic belt conveyors, and pallet handling conveyors.
Sortation is the process of inducting and separating products to specific destination lanes with the purpose of arranging product for a better means of distribution to increase in productivity. Sortation systems are employed when a high quantites product needs to flow to different destinations.
A sortation system is normally comprised of sortation technology and associated conveyor equipment and often diverts a product from one conveying system to another.
Sortation systems are often designed to meet the growing demand for smaller order sizes, increased shipping accuracy, and more frequent shipments while improving efficiency in your distribution operations. Sortation is an ideal solution for separating products from in-feed conveyor lines to; shipping lanes, palletizing operations, packing stations & other sortation applications. These systems are versatile and can sort a wide range of product sizes and weights to multiple divert lanes.
