Muratec Crossbelt Sorter Review: Features and Uses of the Linear-Motor Crossbelt Sorter
Updated: 7 days ago
The Muratec Crossbelt Sorter sorts packages to destination chutes on belted trays. The manufacturer does not publish a price. This review covers its specifications, features and uses.
Quick Verdict
A crossbelt sorter places each item on a tray with its own small belt; at the destination the belt runs sideways and delivers the item into a chute. That is gentler and more reliable than tilt trays for varied packages. Muratec drives its sorter with linear induction motors and feeds power without contact, which it says gives a simple structure, long life, easy maintenance, low running costs and quiet travel. Sorting to both sides and at right angles saves space, and chutes can be added. The page gives no rate, speed or item limits.
