Gentle and precise sorting of a wide range of different postal parcels

The Swiss company Ferag AG has installed a Denisort high-performance sorter at Russian Post’s regional parcel sorting centre in the city of Kazan. The tray system with trays that tilt to either side can process up to 10,000 units per hour. These items come in a wide range of shapes and sizes and are made from different packaging materials. This means the system sorts plastic polybags and shipping envelopes made of polyethylene foam and corrugated cardboard, in addition to classic cardboard boxes. In doing so, the maximum weight of the individual parcels must not exceed seven kilograms.
