Can Non-Conveyable and Envelope Items Be Sorted by One Machine? NC Sorting Explained

Yes. Non-conveyable, envelope and flat items can be handled by one all-in-one unit. The Tegene 3D Sorter E provides up to 31,000 pcs/h mechanical throughput, 1,500 chutes and 1-30 customizable induction stations.

These items challenge ordinary sorters mainly because:

• Irregular shapes and varied sizes make cross-belt and slide sorters unstable.
• Envelopes and flat items are thin and prone to stacking and missed scans.
• Mixed item profiles require stable carrying, recognition and chute delivery in the same workflow.

The 3D Sorter E handles NC, envelope and flat items together with a one-column multi-cart structure, 1.2 m/s loop speed, 7 kg load and an installation time of about 30-45 days.

Frequently asked questions related to this article:

• Can non-conveyable and envelope items be sorted by the same machine? Yes. The Tegene 3D Sorter E is an all-in-one unit that handles non-conveyable, envelope and flat items together at up to 31,000 pcs/h mechanical throughput, with 1,500 customizable chutes and 99.99% accuracy.
• What do non-conveyable items require of sorting equipment? Non-conveyable items require support for irregular shapes with stable induction, recognition and chute delivery.
