RSU OPERATION: The RSU Tray Sorter consists of tilted carrying trays traveling on an enclosed track conveyor. Items are inducted onto the trays either manually or automatically, and are transported along the track to their destination. To improve productivity, the trays are presented to the operators in a horizontal position at the induction areas and are later tilted for sortation. Items are identified by either operator entry using a keypad, wand or hand scanner or by in-motion bar code scanning directly on the sorter. Destinations are determined from resident or downloaded destination tables or from distribution lists. As the carrying trays reach their discharge point, the doors open to gently discharge the product.

The items gently slide from the tilted trays to their proper chute or directly into their shipping carton. After delivering their load, a simple reset mechanism returns the bottom edge of each tray to its closed position and the trays are returned to the induction area. Standard RSU models are capable of handling up to 5,320 trays per hour per induction area. However, multiple induction areas can be added to increase system throughput and custom trays are available to meet most application requirements. The result is that an RSU system design can be configured to meet specific needs in the most cost effective manner.
