BG Line Sorter for parcel and material handling

COMBINE COMPACT FOOTPRINT WITH LARGE ITEM HANDLING VERSATILITY

Today’s distribution and parcel operations often need to sort a broader mix of items without separating products into multiple handling streams. The BG Line Sorter enables logistics operators to process parcels, totes, flats, polybags, sacks, fragile goods, high-friction products and irregularly shaped items on one sorter platform.

By combining a compact line sorter footprint with proven cross-belt technology, the system helps reduce manual handling, simplify material flow and improve operational efficiency across the distribution centre.

CAPACITY CONFIGURED TO YOUR OPERATION

Different operations require different throughput levels. The BG Line Sorter can be configured with a range of induction concepts, including manual loading, conveyor induction, side induction and high-capacity merge solutions.

Combined with adjustable operating speeds, multiple-carrier handling and chute configurations that support secondary sorting processes, the system can support both first-time automation projects and higher-volume distribution operations.

AVAILABILITY THROUGH RELIABLE DESIGN

Reliable sorter performance is essential for maintaining service levels and controlling operating costs. The BG Line Sorter uses a contactless Linear Synchronous Motor (LSM) drive that reduces mechanical wear and minimises maintenance requirements.

Proven carrier technology, durable cross-belt components and robust steel construction contribute to system availability of up to 99.8%, while adjustable discharge profiles help maintain stable item flow and optimise chute utilisation.

MODULAR DESIGN FOR FLEXIBLE LAYOUTS AND FUTURE GROWTH

The BG Line Sorter is built around a modular architecture that allows systems to be configured according to available space, required throughput and operational workflow.

Standard modules, recirculation options, mezzanine installations, alternative induction concepts and multiple chute configurations enable capacity and functionality to grow alongside business demands without requiring complete system replacement.

ENERGY-EFFICIENT OPERATION AND LOW LIFECYCLE COSTS

Energy-efficient operation is supported through contactless drive technology, low-friction components and variable-speed control that adapts power consumption to actual throughput requirements.

Long-life components help reduce replacement needs throughout the system lifecycle, while recyclable materials support sustainability and circularity objectives at end of life.

OPERATIONAL INSIGHTS AND CONTROL

Integration with the BG Software Suite provides real-time visibility into system condition and performance. Operational data helps teams document KPIs, plan condition-based maintenance, allocate resources and identify issues at an early stage. This supports continuous optimisation and greater control of total cost of ownership.
