High-Speed Crossbelt Sorter

The High-Performance Crossbelt Sorter MX 025H offers an increased conveying speed of up to 2.5 m/s (8.2 ft/s). The sorter enables throughput rates of up to 20,000 conveyed goods per hour. At the same time, the sorter MX 025H is able to transport goods weighing up to 50 kg. In addition, the width of the carriers has been increased by an impressive 50%—providing an enormous gain in flexibility when sorting goods of different dimensions.

Maintenance for the HPCS is easy and inexpensive due to the drive chain being replaced with a rubber belt, which means there is no need for lubrication. Secondly, it is easier and faster to replace the belt. However, extensive tests indicate this will not need to happen for many years, even in the case of 24/7 operations. The carriers can also be replaced much faster, and wear parts are also less expensive; all this contributes to significantly lower maintenance costs—around 50% less than with a conventional Crossbelt Sorter.

Interroll Crossbelt Sorters operate on a direct drive principle, in which the drive units can be positioned flexibly. The entire drive system offers power efficiency rates of over 85%. It is designed redundantly so that if one drive unit fails, the sorting operation continues uninterrupted. Compared to electrical sorting systems operated with traditional linear motors, energy savings of up to 50% can be achieved. At the heart of the sorter are the crossbelt carriers with patented mechanical drives. The modular sorter platform also includes innovative infeed conveyors and terminals that can be customized to meet the needs of each user.
