Split-Tray Sortation System by GBI
February 2006
GBI's Split-Tray carrier design incorporates two independent trays on the same carrier. This allows each side tray to tip independently of the adjacent tray traveling on the same carrier.
When using the split-tray on GBI's High-Speed Tilt Tray Sorter, the normal carrier rate of 12,000 trays per hour now becomes 24,000 trays per hour-since two trays per carrier are loaded with product and sorted simultaneously.
GBI will introduce the Split-Tray at NA2006, Exhibit 1608, on March 27-30, in Cleveland.
