Construction
Modular constructed with sturdy, well designed system components the new generation of split trays offers a combination of high performance and low maintenance requirements. If service work is required, spare parts can be replaced quickly and easily.
Droppimg of goods straight into dispatch containers
The split tray design means that the sorter can place goods straight into cartons, sacks or shipment containers without requiring any additional manual handling.
Almost unlimited sorting size
The split tray can be designed with an almost unlimited length. The number of discharge points is also unlimited.
Identification using hand scanner
The simplest method of identification: The operator at each workstation uses a hand scanner to identify articles.
Identification using scanner/camera
If the customer wants the parts to be identified automatically by the sorter, we use time-tested omni-directional laser scanners. If particularly small barcodes are used, CCD camera equipment is the system of choice. This can read barcodes as small as 10x20 mm. Difficult reading tasks, such as small barcodes under foil can be handled by a combination of scanner and CCD camera.
Identification using RFiD readers
The new metal-free tray construction means that the split tray is also ready for the use of RFiD reading devices. A combination of RFiD equipment and scanner/camera equipment is also possible.
Reference project
Next Pontefract, Yorkshire

The split tray sorters carry out the final sorting of mail order bags to 40 nationwide depots.
Reference project
Heycom, Garbsen
The Heycom Group is based in Hanover-Garbsen and is one of the leading e-commerce service providers in Germany.
Heycom uses a split tray sorter to improve the process for returned clothing items. For this application Dürkopp used a combination of a CCD camera and laser scanner to ensure that the system can even read small barcodes under foil.
