BEUMER’s Comb Tray Sorter – a Key Component
for Modern Warehouse Management Systems
BEUMER’s sorter system assures
reliable and consistent performance
of OLF’s distribution center.
Some of the key features of the
system are:
high sorting capacity
accurate tracking of the articles
grouping of back orders
customer specific price and
barcode labeling
printing of shipping documents.
Feeding lines
The feeding lines consist of label
print and apply stations and conveyors
that gently transport the labeled
articles to the BEUMER Comb
Tray Sorter. The labeling stations
are able to both singulate stacked
product as well as to handle single
articles. The articles are identified
by barcode and labeled individually
for each customer. The print data
of the labels are transmitted in real
time to the labeling stations by the
BEUMER Sorting System (BeSS).
The BEUMER Comb Tray Sorter
The BEUMER Comb Tray Sorter
is based on the modular, proven
design of BEUMER’s Tilt Tray Sorter.
The tilting element has been
replaced by a pair of comb trays
which are placed to the left and
right side of the carriage. By means
of a pneumatically activated brush,
the product is swept off the comb
tray and drops into the tote below.
The system is driven by the
BEUMER Sorter Control (BSC)
and the BEUMER Sorting System
(BeSS), connected via network to
the warehouse management
system (WMS).
Tote Replenishment and
Retrieval System
Each destination of the BEUMER
Comb Tray Sorter consists of a tote
which - when the order is complete -
is automatically replaced by a
high-speed tote replenishment and
retrieval system.
Each tote has a unique barcode
(“license plate”) assigned to the
corresponding order.
If the BSC initiates a tote exchange,
the full tote is replaced with an
empty one and conveyed by a railguided
vehicle for further transport
to the packing stations.
The BEUMER Comb Tray
Sorter’s most impressive
features:
gentle article handling
sturdy design
highly efficient handling of flat
products
gentle discharge of all products
