HK Systems’ MB100 is a multi-belt sorter designed to handle and sort a variety of products into high-density after-sort divert lanes or workstations, minimizing the footprint on your floor. Rates can exceed 100 packages per minute (PPM), depending on the package size and the transfer type. The MB100 can handle packages ranging from 6” to 36” in length and weighing up to 75 pounds.
Offering multiple modes of sortation, the MB100 compliments and enhances facility processes such as:
- Pre-sorting - to allocate packages to multiple destinations
- Value-Added Stations – to direct packages to workstations to add product, literature or other “value-add” activities
- Kitting – to transfer assemblies or pre-assemblies between workstations or to a downstream destination
- Pre-Shipping – for final assembly, taping, sealing, weighing, and/or labeling
- Shipping – to deliver product to final shipping location or dock doors
This multi-belt sorter is an optimal automated solution, mastering the quick and seamless transport of small products for diversified industries including Postal (small, flat packages and parcels), Media (cds, dvds, books), Food and Beverage, Wine and Spirits, Retail, E-commerce and Manufacturing.
Modular in design, the 90° transfers and 30° diverts can be “virtually” placed inside the sorter. This means, they can be easily relocated when product sizes or field situations change. A built-in encoder ensures accurate sorting. Available effective widths are 16”, 23” and 30”.
MB100, 90-degree Transfer
High friction, sleeved rollers are pneumatically raised or lowered in the transfer table and the controlled acceleration/deceleration of the rollers allows for minimal gaps between products. The transfer roller bed is designed for “on the fly”, bi-directional transfers and is powered by a timing belt for a more positive drive. Divert lanes can be placed very close to each other, in dense clusters, to accommodate numerous workstation needs. With the change of product orientation, this sorter allows for very dense product on the divert lanes, transporting directly to a workstation, a downstream conveyor, chute, bin, or other after-sort destination.
An optional controls package is conveniently available, complete with I/O block, motor drive with enclosure, quick-disconnects for the motor and drive, power busway and easy-mount DeviceNet flat cabling.
MB100, 30-degree Divert
High friction, urethane wheels are pneumatically raised and lowered in the divert table, and the wheels are driven by individual multi-belts , with no additional motor requirement. Designed for keeping the same orientation for your product, the rate of this divert can easily exceed 100 PPM, depending on your product characteristics. Arrangements can be made for dual-sided sortation.
Application
The MB100 is designed for “mid-range” sortation, where the product is transported on multiple, narrow belts. These belts, with speeds up to 300 feet per minute (FPM), have individual take-ups and “auto-tension”, minimizing your maintenance team’s efforts.
Additional Features
- Belts glide along low-friction, flanged poly guides, so there are no belt tracking requirements
- Belts contact the product 100% of the time, making bags & smalls conveyable, along with precise tracking
- Diverts & transfers can be added, or repositioned, for the utmost flexibility in your system
- Take-Ups are individual and auto-tensioned for each belt, minimizing maintenance
- Timing belt driven for the 90° roller transfer bed, for more positive drive
- Single or Dual sided sorting, for more divert points per foot of floor space (4 divert points or workstations could be designed with just one transfer device)
- Plug-n-Play air and electrics, for rapid installation and maintenance
- Mechanical connections for after-sort divert lanes, for handy installation
- High Rates: 30° Divert, up to 100+ PPM. 90° Transfer, up to 65 PPM.
