High layout flexibility
Another innovation introduced by
this generation of sorters is a major
improvement in the efficient use
of available space. The LS-4000E
sorters are based on a common
installation and technology platform
that achieves high levels of system
capacity and throughput, even in a
space-constrained footprint.
The compact footprint and modular
design of the sorters optimises their
integration into an existing facility.
This space-saving design provides
valuable extra room above the sorter
and on the floor. The modular design,
with low section heights and up to
six metres between supports, frees
valuable space above the system
and at floor level, which can be used
for sprinkler systems, personnel and
vehicle access or for additional conveyors,
sorting and storage systems.
This optimises integration into an
existing facility and in both new-build
and existing systems the sorters
increase design versatility by providing
full access to multiple floor levels.
They feature a frame incline of up to
10 degrees and track level changes
up to seven metres.
All sorters from the LS-4000 series
are constructed using the same
optimised technology platform to
ensure fast, trouble-free installation
and commissioning, as well as
maximising reliability and availability.
The versatile, modular design is
based on standardised units, which
integrate mechanical and electrical
components, as well as low-level
and high-level IT and controls that
are fully tested and certified in-house
prior to installation.
