Accommodates Various Item Sizes Split Tray Sorter Prevents Item
Damage
The Split Tray Sorter, widely recognized as the Bombay Sorter, is a
cutting-edge sorting system crafted by Realkey, tailored to
streamline the processing of small to medium-sized items,
especially flat goods. Its distinctive elliptical horizontal ring
design offers flexibility with single or double-row tray options.
Items are loaded onto these trays and glide along a circular path,
where, at predetermined points, the tray halves part like doors,
releasing items downward into chutes or collection bins to finalize
the sort.
With its ability to manage dual-row tray loading concurrently, this
sorter delivers exceptional throughput, handling up to 21,600 trays
per hour. It shines in organizing apparel, courier parcels, printed
goods, and other non-fragile, flat, or uniquely shaped items. For

Product Features
Strong Applicability
By employing trays to move items, the Split Tray Sorter excels at
managing lightweight, buoyant, or unusually shaped objects that
might challenge Cross Belt Sorters. It adeptly processes diverse
packaging, such as boxes, polybags, cartons, and flexible wraps,
with ease.
Low-Speed High-Efficiency Sorting
The double-row model’s "one cart, two trays" setup doubles the
sorting capacity of similar Cross Belt systems. Running at a modest
1.2m/s along its ring, it achieves up to 17,280 items per hour,
with dual-feed configurations pushing potential rates to 34,560
items hourly.
High Sorting Accuracy
Featuring smart cameras that scan codes from any angle with 99%
precision, this sorter ensures reliable performance. Advanced
sensors and PLCs swiftly identify items and direct them accurately,
while the tray system guarantees smooth, error-free separation.
High Flexibility
Ditching chain drives for distributed low-power motors along its
path, this sorter offers limitless length options and multiple
routing possibilities. Its low-speed design also supports manual
loading without intricate tiered setups.
Small Footprint
With no need for extra feeding layers, this sorter drops items
straight into bags or bins, optimizing space. Its sleek build
adapts around structural pillars, keeping space demands low.
Low Energy Consumption, Simple Structure, Low Maintenance
Powered by efficient, distributed motors, it cuts energy use
significantly. The mechanical drop-and-reset process limits power
draw to the main system, and its gentle pace reduces wear, boosting
longevity and easing upkeep.
Modular Design
Built with interchangeable components, this sorter allows fast
setup, breakdown, scaling, or repositioning, adapting seamlessly to
diverse operational needs.
Application
Perfect for rapid, automated sorting of small to medium items,
Split Tray Sorters thrive in industries like apparel, publishing,
e-commerce, postal services, daily goods, pharmaceuticals, and
accessories. They’re a go-to for distribution hubs handling
direct-to-consumer orders, batch picking, and returns, though
fragile items requiring gentle handling are better suited to
Realkey’s RKSORT-NBS series.
Advantages
V-shaped Tray Design
Its clever V-shaped trays cradle rolling or odd-shaped items
effortlessly—anything that fits is sorted with precision.
Heavy-duty Tray Option
Built tough for postal and courier demands, these trays support up
to 15 kilograms each, standing up to heavy use.
Merging Tray Technology
A patented dual-row system lets trays sort distinct items to
different endpoints or combine for larger loads, maximizing
versatility.
Flat Stacking Technology
Flat items like folded clothes or books drop neatly into
containers, often cutting out extra stacking steps.
Safety Design
With tight tray spacing and no sharp edges, this design maintains
high output at low speeds while prioritizing operator safety.
Reliability
Backed by Realkey’s 17 years in logistics automation, this sorter
offers proven durability and trustworthiness.
