For distribution operations requiring over 100 cases sorted per minute, higher speed devices are required. Shoes sorters are most commonly used. Utilizing a series of tubes or slats with sliding shoes, these sorters provide positive sortation at rates up to and exceeding 200 cases per minute. Critical to achieving high sortation rates are systems to properly space cartons before inducting onto the sorter.

Case Induction.
In high speed sortation systems, cases need to be properly gapped before being inducted into the sorter. Equipment can range from meter belts, to servo-induction conveyors, to multi-lane induction belts, depending on the rate.

Shoe Sorters
Capable of 200 sorts per minute, shoe sorters come in a variety of configurations. The sorters can be tube or slat, single sided diverts or dual diverts, 30° or 20° diverts. A careful analysis of the product and rates is required to provide the best solution.
