Hanging Garment Sorter

SDIGroup UK's hangsorter system is the standard in high speed unit distribution of hanging garments. Its design can be configured for installation in either multi-level or single level operations with equal effectiveness.

Induction to the sorter is achieved either manually or automatically by adding a mechanical device which synchronises a screw conveyor or quick picker with the hooks and automatically delivers the hangers to the hooks as they pass through the induction area. The induction process can also be integrated with an automatic trolley-stripper.

The hang sorter has a variable speed controller, allowing the operators to optimise the travel speed of the garments as well as the induction rate. Induction rates are determined by two factors: rope speed and hook centre distance.

The SDIGroup UK Standard Speed Hangsorter running at maximum speed with hooks at 325mm centres has an induction rate of 6000 hooks per hour with either manual or automatic induction. The High Speed Hangsorter has hooks on 250mm centres and is capable of induction rates of 10000 hooks per hour but for this speed requires an automatic induction device.
