Bulk Sorting and Flow SplittingBulk Sorter

Using Dual-Stacked Angled Roller Belt (DARB) technology, Intralox bulk sorters distribute a wide variety of packages in bulk flow to downstream operations.

Singulated Flow


An ARB single-item sortation system can sort virtually any item, including challenging items like polybags, cartons, and irregular items. It changes package orientation while accurately diverting at 90 degrees or maintains package orientation while sorting into other conveyors or containers.

Advanced Sorter Controls

Precision, Speed and Space—All in One Solution

An optional, pre-engineered solution, Advanced Sorter Controls (ASC) implements package tracking and actuation logic for unmatched divert precision. It empowers parcel carriers and retail fulfillment operators to efficiently automate parcel sortation with improved precision, and reduced footprint. By including machine control developed by the equipment manufacturer and pre-installed from the factory, installation and commissioning schedules are dramatically reduced for faster start-up.

Benefits for Parcel Carriers:

Sort Precision

  • Greater precision allows for smaller divert openings and the ability to sort anywhere down the length off the sorter
  • Smartfill logic allows for optimized filling of containers or chutes, eliminating labor in secondary sort operations

Reduced Footprint

  • Lower total installation cost  
  • Up to 22% shorter sorters or more destinations in the same footprint due to tight divert centerlines
