High level description of operation
Products to be sorted are inducted onto the slide belt sorter by a conveyor or a simple manual process. The products are detected, the length is determined (by photo eyes or camera’s) and bar code is read by an overhead scanner. The sorter controller looks up the barcode and determines a sort destination. The item travels on the slide belt sorter on a slight angle until the item reach’s its final sorting destination. If the push up divert mechanism is used, a pneumatic actuator lifts up a zone of the slide belt sorter to divert the product into the final destination. The item then slides gently and accurately into the proper destination.
