Our Cross Belt Sorter Systems
NC Loop Cross-Belt Sorter for Irregular Parcels
The NC Loop Cross-Belt Sorter uses a fixed NC tray-cart with a bi-directional short conveyor belt instead of a traditional tray-tilting mechanism. The result is a continuous closed-loop sorting platform designed to accommodate mixed parcel formats, including soft and stable irregular-shaped packages, while providing controlled lateral discharge to multiple destinations.
Dual-Channel Automatic Parcel Feeding System
YJ-INTL Dual-Channel Automatic Parcel Feeding System is designed to automate parcel feeding before the sorting process, helping logistics hubs continuously and efficiently transfer parcels into automated sorting lines. The dual-channel configuration provides greater feeding capacity and flexible material flow for express parcels, e-commerce packages, polybags, cartons and other common parcel types. The system can be integrated with conveyors, barcode scanning, DWS and automated sorting equipment to create a complete parcel-processing workflow.
Robotic Parcel Induction System for Automated Parcel Sorting
The Robotic Parcel Induction System automates parcel feeding into sorting and conveying lines with robotic handling technology. Designed for high-volume logistics operations, it reduces manual handling while maintaining a continuous and organized parcel flow. The industrial robotic arm is equipped with a high-precision 3D vision camera and flexible gripping components, enabling 3D object positioning and recognition, posture determination, and flexible, non-destructive gripping. It is widely applicable to various scenarios such as unmanned parcel feeding, sorting and loading, and workpiece handling in express logistics.
NC Loop Cross Belt Sorter | High-Speed Automated Parcel Sorting System
The core of the all-category cross-belt sorter lies in its unique NC tray-cart. It eliminates the traditional tray-tilting mechanism, instead featuring a fixed platform equipped with a bi-directional short conveyor belt (fitted with baffles). This design enables precise, bi-directional sorting and removes strict limitations regarding item shape—effectively handling soft packages and irregularly shaped items—while delivering outstanding performance in efficiency, accuracy, and space utilization.
