Product Advantages
01. Flexible Sorting Direction
The swivel-wheel structure allows parcels to be diverted from the main conveying direction to designated lanes. Different wheel arrangements can be selected according to the required sorting direction and conveyor layout.
02. Modular Wheel Configuration
The sorting surface is built around modular wheel units. Different wheel arrangements can be configured according to parcel characteristics, conveyor width and sorting requirements.
This makes the system easier to adapt when the customer needs to change the number or position of sorting destinations.
03. Accurate Parcel Diverting
The swivel-wheel mechanism provides controlled lateral movement of parcels while maintaining continuous conveying. It is suitable for applications where packages need to be transferred from a main line to predefined destinations.
The sorting logic can be connected with upstream identification and control systems to coordinate parcel information with the physical sorting action.
04. Flexible Application for Different Parcels
The system can be configured for different parcel handling requirements, including cartons, polybags, flat parcels and other unit loads with suitable conveying characteristics.
For irregular or lightweight parcels, the wheel arrangement, conveying parameters and supporting conveyor design can be adjusted during system engineering.
05. Compact Integration with Conveyor Lines
The swivel-wheel sorting module can be incorporated into straight conveyor sections without requiring a completely independent sorting machine footprint.
This makes it suitable for upgrading existing conveyor systems where additional sorting destinations are required.
06. Easy to Customize
The number of sorting outlets, wheel modules, conveyor width, sorting direction and control configuration can be designed according to the actual project.
Instead of forcing the warehouse to adapt to a fixed machine structure, the sorting equipment can be engineered around the customer's parcel flow and available installation space.
07. Designed for Automated Sorting Lines
The system can work as part of a larger automated material handling solution together with:
- Barcode scanners
- DWS systems
- Belt conveyors
- Roller conveyors
- WCS
- WMS
- Other parcel sorting equipment
This allows the swivel wheel sorter to become part of a complete automated sorting process rather than operate as an isolated machine.
Product Features
01 — Flexible Sorting
The swivel-wheel mechanism changes the conveying direction of parcels and supports different sorting layouts.
02 — Multiple Wheel Options
Different wheel configurations can be selected according to parcel size, conveyor width, sorting direction and project requirements.
03 — Modular Structure
The modular structure allows sorting sections to be configured and integrated into different conveyor layouts.
04 — Accurate Diverting
Controlled wheel movement provides stable lateral parcel transfer toward designated sorting destinations.
05 — Customizable Sorting Ports
The number and position of sorting outlets can be designed according to the customer's warehouse layout and destination requirements.
06 — Automated Control Integration
The sorter can be connected with identification and warehouse control systems to execute automated sorting instructions.
How the Smart Swivel Wheel Sorter Works
The Smart Swivel Wheel Sorter is installed within a conveying line. When a parcel reaches the sorting section, the system receives the sorting instruction from the control system.
The swivel wheels then change their conveying direction and generate the required lateral movement. The parcel is transferred toward its assigned chute, conveyor or destination lane. After the parcel leaves the sorting section, the wheels return to the conveying position for the next item.
Typical Process
Parcel Infeed → Identification → Sorting Decision → Wheel Direction Adjustment → Parcel Diverting → Destination Conveyor
This configuration allows the sorting module to be incorporated into an automated parcel handling line while keeping the physical sorting process synchronized with the warehouse control logic.
Swivel Wheel Sorter Project Applications
YJ-INTL's sorting equipment can be configured for different logistics environments, including parcel sorting centers, e-commerce fulfillment facilities, distribution warehouses and automated conveyor lines.
Project configuration is determined according to the customer's actual parcel profile, sorting destinations, conveyor layout and control requirements rather than using a fixed standard configuration for every site.
FAQ
The system can be configured for cartons, polybags, flat parcels and other unit loads with suitable conveying characteristics. The final configuration should be selected according to parcel dimensions, weight, surface characteristics and sorting requirements.
Yes. The modular sorting section can be designed for integration with existing conveyor systems. Conveyor dimensions, sorting direction, wheel configuration and connection points are determined according to the existing line.
Yes. The swivel wheel arrangement can be designed for different parcel diverting directions and sorting layouts according to the required destinations and conveyor configuration.
Yes. A swivel wheel sorter can be integrated with dynamic DWS equipment so that parcel identification, weight, dimension and sorting information can be used together to execute automated sorting decisions.
Yes. The sorting system can be integrated with WCS and communicate with the customer's WMS according to the project interface and control architecture.
Yes. It is suitable for e-commerce fulfillment, express logistics, distribution centers and other operations where parcels need to be automatically diverted to multiple destinations.
Yes. YJ-INTL can customize the wheel configuration, conveyor structure, sorting destinations, system layout, control integration and other engineering elements according to the customer's parcel flow and site conditions.
Key factors include parcel size, parcel weight, parcel material, required sorting direction, number of destinations, throughput, conveyor width, available installation space and integration requirements.
By automatically diverting parcels from a main conveyor to designated destinations, the swivel wheel sorter reduces manual sorting work and enables continuous parcel routing within an automated sorting line.
