Spantech to Unveil The TranSorter™

Glasgow, KY 12-10-2011 -SpanTech , will unveil the new TranSorter™ at Modex , an International Material Handling Trade Show held in Atlanta from February 6-9, 2012.. Booth # 3028

The TranSorter™ , a new unit sorter is perfect for “end of line” systems, order fulfillment, inbound sorting and returns processing. The new sorter can sort a wide range of parcels and including fragile items, ultra lightweight polybags and other irregulars that have been traditionally problematic for other sorters.

Dave Halker mentioned: “ Having spent over twenty years in the high end of the loop sorter market, this is extremely exciting.” He added“ I believe we hit the mark in addressing a lot of unmet needs with new technology designed to be truly modular, scalable and affordable.”

Dan Nasato added : “Our ‘go to market’ strategy will rely on our network of both established and new Distributor & OEM partners. The TranSorter™ is a great product for system integrators as they can  provide additional value added system related equipment and services.”

The new TranSorter™ evolved from an innovation originally developed for the bakery and confectionary processing industries. The modular design consists of grouping extendable and retractable nose conveyors. Similar to pulling a tablecloth from under a wine glass, sort destinations are generated by retracting the programmable conveyor within itself while it is still moving an item forward. Items are gently deposited directly into a container or onto a secondary sort device such as a crossbelt conveyor or tilting mechanism. Upon sorting, the transpositor closes the gap to allow items to pass.

Two models are available. The TranSorter™ 300 which is 300mm( 11.81”) in width or the TranSorter™ 600 which is 600mm(23.62”) wide. Both versions have an overall length of 1500mm(59.05”) with a programmable sort opening of 600mm. Due to the modular nature of the design, layout possibilities are endless with multi-level and side by side configurations possible. Delivery is said to be 10 weeks with onsite installation and commissioning consuming less than one week.
