Intelligent Operations Reduce Errors Cross Belt Sorter Decrease
Overtime Requirements
The Realkey Cross Belt Sorter is an innovative solution designed to
efficiently handle a wide range of items, including parcels and
cartons. This advanced system integrates critical components such
as tracks, carts, cart belts, recognition technologies, and
communication systems. The carts are arranged in a continuous chain
along the track, moving parallel to create a mainline that
intersects with the cart belts, giving the system its name, "Cross
Belt Sorter." Items can be loaded onto the cart belts either
manually or automatically, and as the carts approach designated
sorting stations, the control system activates the belts for
precise sorting.
Available in two configurations—circular and linear—cross belt
sorters are built for high performance. Circular models can achieve
sorting speeds of up to 2 meters per second, capable of processing
as many as 22,000 items per hour. Linear models, operating in a
straight line, can reach speeds of up to 1.5 meters per second and
handle up to 8,000 items per hour. These systems are widely used in
industries that require high throughput and multiple sorting
directions, including express delivery, e-commerce, apparel, food
services, cosmetics, airports, and pharmaceuticals.

Application
Postal and Express Delivery
Cross belt sorting machines are frequently deployed in regional
distribution centers, transfer stations, and medium to large
branches of postal and express delivery companies. These facilities
handle substantial sorting volumes and necessitate automated
solutions for efficient operations. As sorting demands rise and
labor costs increase, cross belt sorters—especially linear
models—have gained popularity for their compact and flexible
designs.
E-Commerce and Global Trade
The rapid growth of e-commerce has led to a significant surge in
parcel volumes during peak shopping periods. Cross belt sorting
machines provide effective solutions that address the diverse
requirements of various markets during these critical times. They
are commonly utilized in industries such as tobacco, fashion,
maternity products, supermarkets, and pharmaceuticals.
Advantages
Intelligent Vision Systems
REALKEY cross belt sorting machines can be outfitted with advanced
vision inspection technology tailored to specific user needs. This
capability enables real-time monitoring and fault detection for
each operational cart. Carts that encounter issues are isolated to
prevent further parcel circulation, and timely alerts are sent to
users, minimizing operational disruptions (requires automatic
feeding stations).
Enhanced Cart Linkage Technology
By utilizing REALKEY's advanced recognition systems and programming
algorithms, the sorter allows for the simultaneous transport of
smaller parcels with a single cart, while larger parcels are sorted
using two carts. This feature supports handling items up to 1.2
meters long without sacrificing efficiency or incurring additional
costs, significantly broadening the application range of the
equipment.
Automated Maintenance Management
Users can issue maintenance commands for specific carts through the
operating interface, allowing those carts to autonomously navigate
to designated maintenance stations. This automation reduces the
need for manual intervention and greatly enhances maintenance
efficiency.
Proven Durability
With 17 years of expertise in the logistics and automated sorting
industry, REALKEY is well-equipped to deliver tailored sorting
solutions. Our products are known for their robustness and
reliability, establishing us as a trusted partner for all sorting
requirements.
