Scaling Chutes with 3D Sorter X

3D Sorter X adds directly to the standard 3D Sorter base machine, increasing chutes through modular expansion and configurable extension. Depending on the original configuration and site conditions, chute count can reach 4–5 times the pre-expansion level, with phased expansion as business grows.

01

The Short Answer

For high-density chutes and flexible expansion, 3D Sorter X integrates chutes into a modular extension structure. It combines with the standard 3D Sorter base machine to add length and chutes as needed, increasing the destination capacity of the existing system. Mechanical throughput is 11,000 pcs/h with 2,500 customizable chutes. It adds directly to the 3D Sorter base machine. Depending on the original configuration and site conditions, chute count can reach 4–5 times the pre-expansion level.

02

When You Need the 3D Sorter X

For space-constrained warehouses, insufficient existing chutes or growing upstream picking workloads that create more sorting destinations. Expansion can be phased around promotional peaks, business growth, store expansion and returns.

  • Business growth and promotional peaks create more destinations.
  • Store expansion, returns or upstream picking growth require more chutes.
  • An existing standard 3D Sorter needs phased expansion while retaining its base machine.

Flexible expansion while retaining the base machine

The module adds directly to the 3D Sorter base machine for phased expansion. Depending on the original configuration and site conditions, chute count can reach 4–5 times the pre-expansion level while retaining the original base machine. Plan extension length and module combinations around available space, equipment layout and additional chute requirements. Add length and chutes as needed so expansion fits actual site conditions.

FAQ

Questions related to this guide

How many chutes does the 3D Sorter X support?

Mechanical throughput is 11,000 pcs/h with 2,500 customizable chutes. It adds directly to the 3D Sorter base machine. Depending on the original configuration and site conditions, chute count can reach 4–5 times the pre-expansion level.

When is the 3D Sorter X needed?

For standard 3D Sorter installations with insufficient chutes, limited space or more destinations from growing upstream picking workloads. Plan extension length and module combinations in phases around business growth, promotional peaks, store expansion and returns.
