Reliable Sorting with High Capacity

Sliding shoe sorters are versatile and robust sorting solutions which differentiate from other solutions by the high diversity of sortable products. Large variations in size and weight are no problem for this sorter.

VanRiet has successfully been designing, building and installing sliding shoe sorters all over the world for many years. These years of experience, combined with the feedback of our customers, have led to the development of the HC Sorter with closed deck.

Benefits:

  • High Speed: With 3 m/sec / 591 ft/min the HC Sorter is the fastest closed deck shoe sorter on the market.
  • Closed Deck: The VanRiet HC Sorter is the first and only in its class with a fully closed sorter deck. This reduces the amount of dust, noise and pollution which can enter the sorter and prevents products from being damaged or getting stuck. The result is a higher sorting quality and less maintenance.
  • Boxes & Polybags: The advanced sliding shoe design creates optimal product handling characteristics in which “gentle handling” is guaranteed.
  • Most Silent: The VanRiet HC Sorter is the most silent sliding shoe sorter available on the market today. This keeps the environment pleasant to work in.
  • Single or Double? In addition to the double-sided version of the sliding shoe, we have developed the single-sided version. This version reduces the necessary distances between parcels on single sided sorters. The new wedge of the shoe also prevents damage to parcels when it is accidently trapped between two shoes.The safety margin between parcels can be reduced. The smaller gap between parcels results in a higher capacity of the sorter.
  • Modular Design: The modular design enables a large variety of customer specific designs. For instance chutes can be steplessly mounted over the full extent of the sorter. Secondly, the overflow section can be equipped with a belt conveyor or with a cost efficient roller conveyor. This results in high quality and proven concepts in your own tailor-made design.

#1 Shoe Sorter

The VanRiet HC Sorter features a combination of high speed and narrow slats, which ensures one of the highest capacities in its class. Yet this does not come at the expense of the sorter’s noise level. The application of low-noise and noise absorbing materials leads to the most silent sliding shoe sorter available on the market. This provides our customers a high sorting capacity, while retaining an ergonomic working environment.

Futureproof, Today

Every year, too many accidents take place on the work floor. Besides the personal dramas, you can be confronted with replacement costs, damage to goods and decreased motivation of personnel. Accidents can be prevented by, among others, good internal procedures and regulations, an orderly lay-out of the work floor, proper signposting, the use of warning signs and other visual aids and timely maintenance. Investments in safety are always worthwhile.
