BEUMER, the international leader in the manufacture of intralogistics for conveying, loading, palletising, packaging, sortation and distribution technology will supply and install three high-capacity sortation systems with a total length of 720 m. These Belt Tray Sorters &#8211; having a width of 1,400 mm &#8211; are the widest ones BEUMER has ever installed. The order comprises two sub-projects: The sortation system for national express shipments is to start operations in spring 2010, the one for the international express shipment in autumn 2010. The total order value is more than 7.5 million Euro.<\/p>\n<p>The Belt Tray Sorter consists of a series of conveyor belts, arranged orthogonally to the direction of the running of the sorter. This enables items to be fed onto the belt tray at a speed adapted to the sorter speed and the angle of induction, permitting items to be fed or discharged optionally to the left or to the right. For the discharging process, the belt moves towards the discharge and the item is guided gently into the destination.<br \/>\nCompared to other cross belt sorters, the BEUMER Belt Tray Sorter incorporates 50 % fewer components, while the distance between the conveyor belts has been reduced to a minimum. The use of belt trays makes it possible to arrange smaller, closely stacked destinations, thus reducing reducing the square footage occupied by the sorter. <\/p>\n<p>Each belt tray is driven by a maintenance-free DC motor. Energy is transmitted to the Belt Tray Sorter without direct contact. This as well as the contactless working linear drive of the whole system contribute to reduction in wear and maintenance. &#8220;The contactless energy supply keeps the operating costs low and the modular structure allows for an adaptation of the system to any building situation &#8211; and that without any loss in performance&#8221; sums up Olivier Prato, President of Beumer SARL in Saint-Ouen l&#8217;Aum\u00f4ne.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Chronopost International in France, one of Europe&#8217;s leading express delivery services, will modernise its existing distribution centre and install BEUMER Belt Tray Sorters for sortation of national and international express goods in an efficient and gentle way at the Charles de Gaulle Airport in Paris.
