ONE INTEGRATED MODULE COULD EASILY DIVERT, TRANSFER AND SORT MULTIPLE PACKAGE TYPES?

Very small packs? Polybags? Not a problem for ModSort® divert and transfer conveyor modules! The ModSort module can do left and right sorting on the fly for a wide range of package types and sizes weighing up to 50 pounds. It is safe, quiet, versatile and saves energy. In addition to integration with existing systems, the ModSort Trident and Mobile Flats systems offer modular, scaleable, and mobile end of line sortation for your operational needs.

Retrofitting an existing conveyor with ModSort modules has saved some customers as much as $90k annually in reduced manual labor alone! To learn more and schedule time with a ModSort specialist, visit:
