Fives GENI-Flex Sorter Review: Specs and Uses of the Sorter for Irregular Packages
Updated: 7 days ago
The Fives GENI-Flex is a sorter for the packages that standard sorters reject. The manufacturer does not publish a price. This review covers its specifications, features and uses.
Quick Verdict
Five-gallon buckets, tyres and carpet rolls are known as non-conveyables, and they are usually sorted by hand. GENI-Flex handles them: packages up to 79.4 kg and 2.74 m long. At each destination, two high-friction belts made of mining-grade material rise between powered rollers and turn the package onto the takeaway; otherwise the rollers carry it on. Modules arrive pre-wired and pre-assembled with guarding, so commissioning is fast, and takeaways can be powered, parallel or gravity. The page gives no rate.
