With the psb pouch sorter, many advantages of overhead transport systems can be transferred to the handling of flat-packed items like shirts, shoes or other packaged goods. This way, efficient buffering and sorting solutions for single parts can be implemented. psb utilizes with the pouch sorter the proven technology of the modular mtr micro trolley system. This innovative conveyor concept for single parts is used for the transport as well as for the buffering and sorting of hanging garments.
Thus, the pouch sorter adopts with the technical basis also the outstanding advantages of this system: extremely fast and efficient buffering and sorting to exact sequences of single parts. Further distinct features: the modular structure with a very flexible system utilization, high throughput rates, good accumulation properties and the three-dimensional mobility of the conveyor system. By utilizing sorting pouches as load carrying units, instead of hanging garments almost any product group can now be buffered, transported and sorted overhead with this highly efficient system.
For the mail order and e-commerce business, the pouch sorter is a highly efficient and very economical solution in order to buffer single parts and to sort and dispatch these in exact sequences. Due to its modular design, the system can be easily adapted, thus making such an approach economically attractive for small and medium-sized configurations as well as large applications.
Especially in the handling of returns, the system scores with its high efficiency. By buffering the returned items in a pouch sorter, the time-consuming sortation procedure back to the original warehouse is no longer required. If the items are ordered again, they can be quickly retrieved from the returns buffer.
