•
Each transport element on a double belt sorter consists of two cross-belt conveyor
elements that are mounted on the carrier.
•
The two cross-belt conveyor elements are separated by a belt gap.
•
The two cross-belt conveyor elements mounted on each carrier can be operated either
in singulated (one object per cross-belt conveyor element) or synchronized (one object
occupies both cross-belt conveyor elements of a double belt carrier) mode.
•
This means that small objects can be transported on single cross-belt conveyor
elements, while larger objects can be transported across two cross-belt conveyor
elements.
•
This can significantly increase the throughput of the system.
NOTE!
When transporting objects in synchronized mode on a double belt carrier, the
restrictions on the minimum object size and accuracy need to be taken into consideration
