Linear Sorters

Dematic Sliding-Shoe Linear Sorters offer the highest sort rates at the lowest speeds — throughput rates between 9,000 and 24,000 items per hour. These systems are built for maximum performance and long service life with quiet and reliable operation.

Benefits of Dematic Sliding-Shoe Linear Sortation Systems

• High Throughput at Low Speeds Extends Equipment Life: Dematic patented parallel divert technology and controls space packages closely together for exceptionally high throughputs even at lower speeds.
• Easy Maintenance Reduces Downtime: Dematic Sliding-Shoe Linear Sorters feature a quiet and energy-efficient linear induction drive — a big advantage over the mechanical end drives and oily chain loops in other sliding-shoe sorters. Patented Quick-Release Slats allow removal and replacement of slats in seconds to keep maintenance fast and easy.
• Designed for Future Growth: The bi-directional sort option and parallel discharge option minimize the distance between consecutive chutes, reducing the overall footprint and allowing reconfiguration of divert points.
• Minimal Energy Consumption: Smart controls automatically adjust speeds depending on the volume of packages. For high-rates with demand variations, this patented feature saves energy and reduces equipment wear.
