Shoe Sorter

SDIGroup UK's Shoe Sorter has been developed for purpose and consists of an oval carousel equipped with tilting plastic trays, which carry boxed and packaged shoes. Arranged around each side of the carousel are dropstations with inclined chutes, which can be allocated, as required, to individual stores.

Boxed shoes are manually loaded on to the system at an induction station and the bar codes on the boxes are then read by an in-line scanner, which enables product identification for assignment to a dropstation. An automatic induction conveyor then carries the boxes up to the sorter carousel, where they are discharged singularly into the individual trays. The system's control logic ensures that the conveyor is in phase with the sorter so the boxes drop precisely into the trays.

As the shoes pass round the system the sorter control software sends signals to activate solenoids, which tilt the trays as they pass over the required drop-stations, so the shoe boxes slide out and down the store chutes.

Accumulated boxes can then removed from the chutes and placed on to pallets, into roll cages or on to other carrying media ready for shipment.

The system is extremely quiet-running and has the capacity to sort at least 5000 shoe boxes per hour using just one induction point.
