  • The operation of the Shoe Sorter starts when the product enters the equipment where is automatically measured in order to know how many rates or shoes will be activated at the time the product exits the sorter in an specific place.
  • It has an anodized-aluminum slat design, which provides an adequate support of the product and a minimum separation between them, resulting in a higher rate.
  • Its design allows a double-sided exit, in other words, it can deviate to the left and to the right.
  • The entire equipment is driven by a power unit that pulls the slats on which the diverters slip into which are called "shoes" and that are activated by the equipment’s software.
  • Shoe sorter is the technology with more benefits after its implementation. The product is diverted by guiding it to the exit by means of a hidden mechanism that drives the tracks to such required exit. It is very gentle regarding products’ handling but it is more expensive than the others. With this tool you will have more confidence in your operations while supplying higher rates.
  • Operates with a driver that can be either pneumatic or electric with servomotor.
  • It keeps a rate with a flow of 95 to 230 boxes per minute. It handles products that should not necessarily have a rigid or flat bottom as well as weights up to 40kg and sizes of 70x70x70 cm.
  • It operates in high speed provided that there is an efficient induction area.
