Norpak offers several models of sorting conveyors.

Norpak Handling Ltd. offers various sortation conveyors among its wide selection of material-handling solutions. Sorting used to be a labour-intensive manual process, with workers picking items out individually and distributing them into different conveyor lines, but modern conveyor accessories and software allow automated sorting with higher speed and precision.

Sorting is a major process in many manufacturing facilities and warehouses, especially in large-scale production, with sortation conveyors making the task easier today.

Most popular Norpak options

When selecting a sortation system for a plant or warehouse, an organization should bear many different considerations in mind, as these conveyors are designed for various applications. Among the important factors that the Norpak team cites are the required speed, floor space, and the type of product being handled, including its weight, packaging type, and size. Some of the most popular sortation conveyors from the distributor:

  • Belted pivot-wheel sorter – two sets of pivot wheels to divert items for efficient, productive sorting. Ideal for medium-sized packages.
  • Cross-belt sorter – with a chain of carts mounted on the main track, known as a carrier. The carts serve as small, bidirectional conveyor belts. Provides a high density of divert locations and can process a high amount of tasks per minute.
  • Narrow belt sorter – with multiple narrow belts separated by pop-up rollers and a compact construction that is suitable for work environments with limited floor space.
  • Pusher sorter – with a pushing arm that diverts products onto another conveying line, typically positioned perpendicularly to the main line. Also ideal for limited floor space.
  • Sliding shoe sorter – most appropriate for high-speed sorting, with gentle sortation that is recommended for small or fragile objects. Constructed with aluminum slats, with sliding shoes to divert items.
  • Sweep sorter – similar to the pusher sorter, but with bidirectional paddles. The sweeping mechanism makes it perfect for handling standard poly bags and other small items.
  • Till tray sorter – with individual components that facilitate high-density, high-speed sorting, like the cross-belt option. Lined with trays that dispense items into a chute.
