Precision Sorting at High Speeds

Sliding Shoe Sorter

Gentle, Accurate & High-Throughput Sorting for Diverse Products

The Sliding Shoe Sorter is a high-performance automatic sortation system engineered for fast, accurate, and gentle item diversion in high-throughput logistics environments. It operates by utilizing a continuous flow conveyor with carriers that transport products forward, while a series of precisely timed sliding shoes mounted on the carriers shift laterally to divert items into specific discharge lanes.

This system stands out for its non-impact sorting mechanism, which greatly reduces the risk of damage to fragile or irregularly shaped packages—making it a top choice for industries like e-commerce fulfillment, retail distribution, and postal logistics. Unlike push-arm or diverter plate systems, the sliding shoes ensure smooth lateral movement, allowing products to be sorted with minimal turbulence, vibration, or interruption.
