In previous articles we talked about the benefits that a suitable sortation system can bring to your working processes and the productivity in your industry.
Today, we would like to talk about the Pop Up Wheel sortation system and the reasons why it is the favorite tool of many companies. Let’s start!
How is the Pop Up Wheel sorter constituted?
The operation mechanism of this sortation tool is based on the reception of the product, because it automatically measures its length in order to know how many shoes are going to be needed to divert the product when required.
The whole system is actioned by a motor unit that pulls the slats in which deviators are slided as the software indicates. These deviators are called shoes.
This equipment has two options to work with: 22° or 30° angles. Choosing between one and another will depend on each industry according to the top speed of the sorter and the minimum distance among exits.
The Pop Up Wheel sortation system is constituted by a single belt along its entire length. Thanks to its practical design, different drivers can be included, which deviate products through a simultaneous mechanism that lifts and rotates boxes for an accurate sortation.
Each driver is constituted by two or three line of wheels that are moved by belts according to the sortation needs.
Thanks to the design of this equipment, dual-sided exits are able by placing a position indictor at the sorter’s entrance, which will assure proper sortation. On top of that, this toll has an automatic tensor for low-maintenance requirements.
Among the industries that choose to go for a Pop Up Wheel sortation system are those which handle containers and boxes, always considering that the bottom of the product is rigid.
