Paketsortierung in der Logistik von DHL von Sortec Sotriertechnik
Box sorting at DHL Logistics with 90 degree discharge

In logistics, our systems sort different products from 1 → 2 lanes or with 90 degree discharges, for example:

  • Letter trays
  • Parcels and packages
  • Electrical items in boxes
  • Loose parts in trays
  • Boxes with heavy semifinished products
  • Hygiene paper boxes in shrink packs
  • Kitchen rolls in packs

Sorting process for gentle to product and package handling

After picking and barcode registration, the boxes and products are checked for their size for sorting. Small items coming close together are pushed over quickly and far, large packaging units are pushed over the following lanes more slowly and just as far as the small ones. This ensures fast and safe sorting operations.

Our sorting system feeds the boxes or products to different discharge lanes, usually on roller conveyors that branch off at 90°. There, the packages and boxes are transported on roller conveyors through appropriate shafts to the truck for loading.


Suitable for all common conveyors in logistics

Our Tangens 360 rejection system is suitable for all common transporters such as belt and roller conveyors. It accompanies each product to the final position so that different friction properties and influences from cold or dust do not affect safe and long-term operation.

Thanks to the high cycle times of the servo technology in our systems, large sorting capacities are possible. The following three variants have proven themselves for controlling the logistics sorting systems:

  • The stand-alone version with a separate control cabinet and operating display.
  • Control cabinet mounted on the frame of the sorting system, without display. Here, communication with the higher-level control system takes place via an interface.
  • With an integrated converter from an existing control cabinet

Sorting numerous products in other industries

In other industries, our systems sort different products, packaging formats, sizes and weights, such as

  • Boxes with fragile perfume bottles
  • Shrink packs with diapers
  • Cartons with large and heavy fabric softener bottles
  • Heavy boxes with detergent
  • Large boxes with hygienic paper
  • Packs with kitchen rolls
  • Boxes with sealant cartridges

Based on to decades of experience and specialization in the field of safe product handling, with the help of our sensors and metered transfer with servo technology, we offer proven solutions for your requirements. Retrofitting our systems to existing systems is simple. This saves you expensive conversions and costly downtimes of your production.
