How partnership works02
Start with your operating constraint
Throughput is only one part of the decision. Parcel profile, footprint, destinations, integration and service access shape the right system.
Best forParcel profileTypical constraint
01Cross-belt
High throughput and high destination counts
A broad mix of parcels within the engineered size and weight envelope
Available loop length, induction design and chute accumulation
02Narrow-belt
Mixed parcel sizes and linear distribution flows
Envelopes, polybags and cartons, subject to configuration
Footprint, line length and the number of destinations
03Tilt-tray
Irregular goods and applications that need controlled discharge
Irregular, round, soft or mixed-format items
Discharge geometry, system height and maintenance access
04Wheel sorter
Compact layouts and moderate-throughput diverting
Cartons, polybags and stable-bottom parcels within the design envelope
Parcel stability, divert angle and downstream spacing
05Ball-top modular belt
Multi-direction transfers and modular conveyor layouts
Stable-bottom cartons and parcels with suitable surface contact
Bottom friction, transfer angle and downstream hand-off
06Compact loop
Regional stations, defined routes and compact layouts
Project-validated parcels within the selected carrier envelope
Induction, return path, chute strategy and expansion plan
03
Field cases, not sales claims.
See what the available evidence confirms, what still needs verification and which project questions matter before a claim is published.
04
Plan before you request a quote.
Use a common set of inputs to compare technologies, brief integrators and expose unanswered engineering questions early.
