Vertical / Narrow Belt Sorter
Compact, High-Performance Vertical Sorting Solution for Postal & E-commerce Operations
The Narrow Belt is a modular vertical sorting system designed to optimize floor space while delivering high sorting accuracy and stable throughput.
Engineered for postal operators, courier express parcel (CEP) hubs, e-commerce fulfillment centers, and distribution facilities, the Narrow Belt combines compact footprint with reliable performance for mixed parcel environments.
What Is a Vertical / Narrow Belt Sorter ?
The Narrow Belt operates using bi-directional rotating carriers positioned along a specialized vertical main drive line.
These carriers continuously and cyclically transport parcels, ensuring precise discharge to their designated destinations.
This architecture allows:
🔹Efficient vertical space utilization
🔹Accurate parcel positioning
🔹Smooth and controlled sorting
🔹Reduced footprint compared to horizontal systems
