Versatile Applications Split Tray Sorter Simplifies Operational
Complexity
The Split Tray Sorter, also known as the Bombay Sorter, is an
innovative sorting system developed by RKSORT, specifically
designed for the efficient processing of small to medium-sized
items, particularly flat products. This sorter features an
elliptical horizontal ring layout and is available in
configurations with single or double-row trays. Items are placed in
these trays and move along a circular track. When they reach their
designated positions, the two halves of the trays open like doors,
allowing items to drop vertically into chutes or material boxes,
thereby completing the sorting action.
Thanks to its ability to load items on double-row trays
simultaneously, the Split Tray Sorter can achieve impressive speeds
of up to 21,600 trays per hour. It is especially effective for
sorting clothing, express mail, printed materials, and other flat
or non-fragile items, including those with irregular shapes. For

Product Features
Versatile Item Handling
The Split Tray Sorter is designed to transport items using trays,
making it highly adaptable for sorting lightweight, floating, or
irregularly shaped items not suitable for Cross Belt Sorters. It
efficiently processes various packaging types, including boxes,
plastic bags, cartons, and soft packaging.
High Efficiency with Low Speed
The unique "one cart, two trays" mechanism of the double-row Split
Tray Sorter allows for sorting efficiencies that outperform
comparable Cross Belt Sorters. Operating at a ring line speed of
just 1.2m/s, it achieves sorting rates of up to 17,280 items per
hour, with the potential for a dual-side feeding configuration to
reach a theoretical maximum of 34,560 items per hour.
Exceptional Sorting Accuracy
Equipped with advanced intelligent cameras, the Split Tray Sorter
can read codes from any angle, achieving a remarkable accuracy of
up to 99%. High-tech sensors and PLCs quickly detect items and
determine their paths, while the efficient tray handling mechanism
ensures rapid and precise product separation, significantly
minimizing error rates.
Flexible Design
By eliminating chain drives and wheel turning in its transmission
system, the sorter utilizes distributed low-power motors placed at
various points along the circular sorting path. This design allows
for virtually unlimited sorter length and multiple destination
paths, and its low-speed operation accommodates manual feeding
without complex multi-level systems.
Compact Footprint
The innovative design of the Split Tray Sorter eliminates the need
for additional multi-level feeding systems. Items can be sorted
directly into bags or boxes, maximizing space efficiency. Its
compact structure can be arranged around factory columns,
minimizing overall space usage.
Energy Efficient and Low Maintenance
The sorter employs distributed low-power motor drives, leading to
significant energy savings. Its mechanical unloading and resetting
mechanisms are designed to minimize additional energy consumption
beyond the main drive. The relatively low-speed operation reduces
wear and tear, extending service life and lowering maintenance
costs.
Modular Design
The entire machine features a modular design that supports rapid
assembly, disassembly, expansion, and relocation, enhancing its
versatility for various sorting applications.
Application
Split tray sorters are ideal for high-speed automated sorting of
small and medium-sized items across various industries. They are
commonly used in sectors such as footwear, books, e-commerce,
postal services, daily essentials, pharmaceuticals, and jewelry.
For very small or lightweight items that present challenges for
other types of sorters, such as cross belt sorters, split tray
sorters can effectively automate the sorting process.
These sorters excel in distribution centers serving consumers
directly, facilitating batch picking and sorting of discrete
orders, including e-commerce goods, retail clothing, omnichannel
logistics, store replenishment, and returns processing. However,
they are not suitable for fragile items that cannot withstand
impacts; for such specialized sorting needs, the RKSORT-NBS series
sorters from Realkey are recommended.
Advantages
V-shaped Tray Design
The unique V-shaped tray design accommodates easily rollable items,
whether they are lightweight or irregularly shaped. If it fits in
the tray, the Split Tray Sorter can manage it effectively.
Heavy-duty Tray Option
Our heavy-duty trays are built for demanding postal and courier
environments, capable of supporting substantial loads, with each
tray holding up to 15 kilograms.
Merging Tray Technology
The patented double-row tray design enables two groups of trays in
the same row to sort different items to separate destinations,
while also allowing for the merging of two trays to carry larger
items during sorting.
Flat Stacking Technology
For folded garments, books, documents, and other flat items,
products can drop directly into boxes or bags, typically
eliminating the need for additional stacking labor.
Safety Design
The safety tray design ensures high sorting throughput even at
lower speeds, with minimal gaps between trays. This design avoids
sharp edges and reduces spacing between trays, ensuring operator
safety.
Proven Reliability
With 17 years of experience in logistics and automated sorting
solutions, Realkey has a strong reputation for delivering tailored
sorting solutions. Our products are renowned for their durability
and reliability, making us a trusted partner in the industry.
