Linear Cross-Belt Sorter

A straight-line cross-belt sorter that slots into your existing conveyor layout —medium throughput, lower civil-work cost and simple integration for warehouse retrofits.

Linear cross-belt sorter with infeed detection and parallel sorting stations

Product overview

The practical retrofit for existing lines

The linear cross-belt sorter arranges sorting carriages in a straight line instead of a loop. Parcels travel along the main line and are diverted sideways to destination stations — a simple, space-efficient architecture that connects directly to the conveyor system you already run.

  • Straight-line layout —no loop return path, less floor space and simpler guarding.
  • Lower civil-work cost —reduced structural and installation work versus a ring sorter.
  • Easy line integration —connects to existing belt and roller conveyors with minimal rework.
  • Cost-effective throughput —the right capacity for medium-volume operations without over-engineering.

Key features

Simple, reliable, easy to maintain

Modular carriages

Standard cross-belt carriages sized to your parcel mix, easy to service individually.

DWS infeed

Dimensioning, weighing and scanning at infeed for automated sortation data.

Dual-side discharge

Destination stations on both sides of the line double your sortable destinations.

Retrofit friendly

Designed to splice into existing conveyor networks with minimal disruption.

Low maintenance

Simple mechanical structure, fewer moving parts, faster daily checks.

Open controls

WCS / WMS compatible control with standard industrial fieldbus interfaces.

FAQ

Common questions

Is the linear sorter suitable for retrofitting an existing line?

Yes. The straight-line architecture requires minimal civil work and splices directly into existing conveyor networks —the practical choice when you cannot rebuild the warehouse.

What throughput can we expect?

Typically 2,000–6,000 pcs/h depending on induction configuration, parcel mix and sorting length.

What is the sorting accuracy?

99.9%+ under normal operation, with multi-side scanning options for verification at discharge.

How are exits configured?

Modular chute and take-away configuration along both sides of the line, sized to your destination count and service levels.
