Automated Operation Cross Belt Sorter Modular Design Easy
Maintenance
The Cross Belt Sorter (RKSORT-CBS) serves as an advanced solution
for the efficient sorting of parcels and cartons of diverse sizes.
This system includes essential components such as tracks, carts,
cart belts, recognition systems, and communication networks. The
carts are arranged in a continuous line on the track, moving
parallel to form the mainline, which intersects with the belts on
the carts, hence the term "Cross Belt Sorter." During operation,
items can be loaded onto the cart belts either manually or through
automated systems. When the carts reach their designated sorting
points, the control system activates the belts to facilitate
sorting and dispatching.
Cross belt sorters are typically classified into two layouts:
circular and linear. Circular cross belt sorters feature a flat
circular design, achieving a mainline speed of up to 2 meters per
second and sorting capacity of up to 22,000 items per hour. In
contrast, linear cross belt sorters utilize a straight
configuration, operating at speeds of up to 1.5 meters per second
and sorting up to 8,000 items per hour. These sorters are
extensively employed in industries requiring high efficiency,
multiple sorting directions, and optimized space, including express
delivery, e-commerce, apparel, food, cosmetics, airports, and
pharmaceuticals.

Product Features
Established and Reliable
The cross belt sorting system is particularly effective for sorting
small to medium-sized parcels, accommodating the specifications for
most express and e-commerce packages. It offers multiple sorting
chutes and exhibits considerable flexibility. The system is
recognized for its stable performance in logistics sorting
operations globally, supported by established technical solutions.
Versatile Sorting Capabilities
Designed to be robust, the cross belt sorting system offers high
capacity for processing various items. It can effectively sort
cartons, envelopes, parcels, clothing, and products packaged in
plastic film, among others. Equipment specifications can be
tailored to meet specific site requirements, with sorting chutes
available in various lengths and widths (e.g., 600mm, 700mm, 750mm,
1000mm). The modular design of the cart track allows for flexible
adaptation to different site dimensions and specifications.
Easy Loading Operations
Depending on user workflows and requirements, the cross belt
sorting system can be loaded manually or equipped with an automatic
feeding platform for scanning, weighing, and loading. Workers can
quickly initiate operations with minimal training and clear
instructions.
Modular Components
The cross belt sorting system benefits from standardized components
and a lightweight design, ensuring high efficiency throughout
production, transport, assembly, and commissioning. This modular
approach facilitates rapid responses to customer needs and enhances
equipment maintenance efficiency.
Cost-Effective Solutions
With its high sorting efficiency, the cross belt sorter
significantly reduces the workload for operators, optimizing human
resource allocation and lowering labor and management costs for
businesses.
Application
Postal and Express Delivery Sector
Cross belt sorting machines are extensively utilized in regional
distribution centers, transfer stations, and medium to large
branches of postal and express delivery companies. These facilities
often face high sorting demands and require automated solutions to
effectively process large volumes. As sorting demands in smaller
branches increase and labor costs rise, cross belt sorting
machines, particularly linear models with compact designs, have
gained popularity.
E-Commerce and Cross-Border Shipping
The rapid growth of e-commerce has led to significant increases in
parcel volumes during peak shopping seasons. Cross belt sorting
machines provide efficient sorting solutions to address the diverse
demands of various industries, including sectors such as tobacco,
fashion, maternity products, supermarkets, and pharmaceuticals.
Advantages
Vision Inspection Technology
Realkey cross belt sorting machines can be equipped with
intelligent vision inspection capabilities tailored to specific
user requirements. This feature enables real-time tracking and
fault detection for all operational carts, isolating carts with
issues to halt parcel circulation. Notifications are sent to users
to prevent conflicts and downstream process failures (this feature
requires the configuration of automatic feeding stations).
Dual-Cart Linkage Technology
Realkey’s advanced recognition technology allows simultaneous
transport and sorting of small parcels by one cart and larger
parcels by two carts into sorting chutes. This functionality
enables handling of parcels up to 1.2 meters in length without
sacrificing efficiency or incurring additional costs.
Automatic Fault Routing
When maintenance is required for a cart, users can issue commands
through the operating interface, prompting the cart to navigate
automatically to a designated maintenance station. This feature
enhances maintenance efficiency by eliminating the need for manual
retrieval.
Proven Reliability
With 17 years of experience in logistics conveyance and automatic
sorting, Realkey offers unique advantages in developing tailored
sorting solutions for clients. Our products are recognized for
their durability, establishing RKSORT as a trusted partner in the
industry.
