Wayzim, a leading system provider of intelligent logistics equipment, vision systems and industrial sensors based in Wuxi, Jiangsu Province, China, is further expanding its activities in the European market. The solution portfolio of the Chinese market leader for transportation, sorting and warehousing includes matrix sorting systems, 2D bulk singled sorters and a narrow belt sorter. 

The sorting system has bi-directional carriers that are positioned along a main drive line and perform both transportation and sorting. According to the company, this enables efficient and speedy package processing.

One special feature of the sorter is the reduced distance between the carriers. This means that both large and small parcels can be processed at the same time. This provides greater flexibility compared to conventional sorting systems, as the sorter is able to process a wide range of parcel types and sizes in parallel. This increases overall operational efficiency.

According to Wayzim, the mechanical design of the sorter can also be flexibly adapted to the specific needs of the application and the respective location. This includes adjusting the length of the conveyor line, the number of carriers, barcode readers and end points. The conveyor line is designed in a straight line, with its total length precisely matched to the layout of the system. The number of carriers depends on the length of the conveyor line. The end stations are located on both sides of the line and are arranged in different directions. Their width and number are determined based on package sizes and operational requirements.

“Due to its innovative and compact design, the Narrow Belt Sorter is able to process a wide range of packages,” says Steven Wang, General Manager of Wayzim. This applies to both small formats of 150 x 150 x 30 millimeters (L x W x H) and larger formats of 1,300 x 1,100 x 1,100 millimeters (L x W x H). The system can handle products weighing between 0.2 and 60 kilograms. “This makes the sorter suitable not only for boxes, but also for bags, envelopes, sacks and many other types of items, making it a particularly versatile solution.”

According to Wang, the sorter has a maximum throughput of up to 9,000 parcels per hour. “Its efficiency and adaptability make it ideal for a range of sorting applications where fast and accurate sorting of a wide variety of parcels is essential.” These include e-commerce fulfillment centers, distribution warehouses and logistics centers.
