What is a Tilt-Tray Sorter?

A Tilt-Tray Sorter is a continuous-loop sortation conveyor that uses a technique of tilting a tray at a chute to slide an object into a chute.

Items are loaded on to trays individually and their sort destination is determined in advance. The items are loaded onto the passing trays at the front end of the sorter and travel towards a series of destinations down the line. Destination may be attached on one or both sides of the sorter.

As the tray with an item approaches its destination the tray is tilted to slide the object into the chute. The empty tray then returns to the load section before it is loaded again with a new object.
