Package sorting
Hanter’s sorting solutions are designed to sort parcels and bags efficiently and reliably.
Common sorting technologies
Cross belt sorter
The cross belt sorter is the type of sorting solution that achieves the highest capacity in terms of items per hour and the widest variation in the shape of the goods.
Shoe sorter
The shoe sorter is a high-capacity sorter for many types of goods. Sorting is performed by sliding shoes that push the goods sideways into the selected sorting direction.
Sorting modules
Sorting is carried out by sorting modules – plates fitted with a number of steerable wheels. They cope with a wide variation in the shape of the goods at medium-high capacity.
Narrow belt sorter
The narrow belt sorter provides efficient sorting at right angles to the flow. It is used for sorting into chutes and cages, and also at lower level onto gravity or powered roller conveyors.
Drop sorter
The drop sorter is an inclined sorter that normally sorts parcels down into cages. The flaps are pneumatically controlled and open when the parcel reaches the correct destination
Pusher sorter
The pusher sorter is a sorting solution in which the goods are diverted to each sorting direction by an arm that pushes them sideways.

Sorting solutions for package sorting
Our sorting solutions are designed to sort parcels and bags efficiently and reliably.
From the workstations to onward transport to the sorting line, the system can be combined with weighing, volume measurement and barcode scanning to determine the properties and destination of each item.
Packing and labelling take place in one location; sorting and dispatch in another.
We have experience from previous deliveries of a wide range of sorting solutions, meeting each customer’s specific requirements for capacity, variation in goods types and the space available for the installation.
We can offer several types of cost-effective package sorting solutions for industry, warehousing, logistics and e-commerce.
A spare parts package kept on site shortens lead times and reduces the risk of operational disruptions. It also means less time from your first call to a technician being on site to resolve the issue. Contact us for advice!
