Tilt Tray Sorter

Tilt Tray Sorter—Tilt, Eject, & Go! Elegant Design, Versatile Function

This warehouse sorter model is a carrier-based automated parcel sorting system that sports a chain of “tilt trays.” These mechanical trays can automatically incline the carrier body at sorting checkpoints to ensure the load slides into the chutes. 

Like linear cross-belt sorters, tilt tray sorters are also designed for precision sorting, but the carrier’s form factor further enhances the sorter’s functionality. All in all, this sortation machine model is designed to sort small or an assortment of care-package-like items—regardless of load type, cartons, polybags, or unpacked individual items. 

The goal for leveraging the solution is to bundle the little items or a group of packages within the same order to facilitate shipping. shipped to the same destination.

But why, in several cases, do our experts recommend tilt tray sorters over other sorter models?  

Different from the Rest: Decoding the Form Factor of Tilt Tray Sorters

Don’t other sorter types of support loads with various packaging types? Don’t these models have their limitations vis-à-vis large and heavy shipments? If yes, what differentiates the tilt tray sorter? Usually, in CEP operations, several compact items need to be shipped to the same destination. Take, for example, two different e-commerce parcels of a customer who placed the orders back-to-back and to be delivered the same day, hence, the parcels are packed into a single unit. This merging of shipments requires the discrete items/orders to be carried and sorted together—this is where the form factor of the tilt trays proves to be critical. Further, some cylindrical items or parcels are prone to rolling. In such a scenario, the edges of the trays are handy. 

Things to Keep in Mind If Tilt Tray Implementation Is in Order: Tips from Quinta Experts

Humid and hot environments can cause static electricity to build up in the carriers of the tilt tray sorters, causing certain parcel types to stick, thereby hampering the smooth ejection of the load.

Are tilt trays only integrated into linear sorters? No, tilt trays are versatile carriers that can be integrated on z-g-zag (Z-type) and circular sorting tracks. Yet the linear configuration adds to the throughput advantage
