Parcel Sorter

Bell & Howell

About the Machine
The Sorter solution consists of a high speed processing system capable of the following:
• Ergonomically designed manual induction prep section for 2-operators that will allow
efficient processing:
• 5,000 pieces per hour (pph) in barcode reading mode with a single operator. This
mode does not require orientation of the product and will be used for the reject
processing of parcels back into the Parcel Manager- (extreme pieces must be
oriented).
• 5000 pph for labeling and OCR mode with two operators. This mode requires the
operator to orient and bring the product to the edge.
• Automated product gapping with minimal skewing
• In-motion weighing and dimensioning
• Top read, full piece image, omni-directional camera solution with complimentary dual
barcode reading and OCR address reading software
• High speed linerless print and apply labeling system with stand.
• Sorting, consisting of:
• Multiple parcel sized outputs into 1 meter (39 in.) containers
• Bin Confirmation sensors
• Tray label printers
• Overhead system displays for the operators

The system is design to handle throughputs up to 5,000 pph.
