Today’s fast-paced e-commerce and retail fulfillment operations require more than just legacy sortation. They need sortation designed reliability in high-throughput, high-accuracy environments.
There are a number of factors that go into selecting the right solution such as the type of items being handled, how items are packaged, product flow to the sorter, method of inducting items to the sorter, ability to take items away from the sorter, not to mention the sorter technology capabilities. When applied correctly, sortation unlocks operational capacity and efficiency, if not it can become a capacity restraint impacting operational flow throughout the entire operation.
High-throughput Sortation 100–350 CPM+
TrewSort® Sliding Shoe Sorter
Trew’s Sliding Shoe Sorter delivers high-capacity, high accuracy, gentle positive divert sortation of cartons, totes, jiffys, and polybags. Sliding shoe sorters are used in routing and shipping operations and are typically mission critical for successful operations. TrewSort’s AI self-learning actuators and inherent design for operations, maintenance, and installation deliver sortation capabilities to keep your systems running reliably at peak performance.
TrewTouch™
TrewTouch is an advanced product‑handling approach designed to bring greater accuracy and control to high‑rate sliding‑shoe sortation. By fine‑tuning divert velocity, shoe path, and shoe material, TrewTouch enables smoother product acceleration during the divert process - reducing disruption and maintaining stability as throughput increases. The result is improved product handling in mixed‑item environments, fewer missorts, and more consistent sortation performance across demanding retail, ecommerce, and parcel operations.
Mid-rate Sortation 45–200 CPM
TrewSort® Swivel Wheel
TrewSort Swivel Wheel delivers flexible, reliable mid-rate sortation for parcel operations, e-commerce fulfillment, manufacturing, and mixed-item distribution. SmartRow™ technology enables independent control of each wheel row, delivering accurate, high-capacity sortation with very small product gaps to maximize throughput. Its modular design supports a wide range of product profiles - including cartons, totes, polybags, flats, and mixed parcel sizes - ensuring smooth, precise routing across diverse applications. Wheel Grip Technology maintains product orientation for controlled diverts, reducing missorts and improving efficiency. Durable wheel assemblies and plug-and-play row modules simplify maintenance, minimizing downtime while providing adaptable, high-performance sortation.
TrewSort® Wheel Divert
TrewSort Wheel Divert is a proven pneumatic linear sortation solution that delivers dependable, high-speed diverting of cartons and totes in case-conveyance applications. Pneumatically actuated wheels provide precise 30-degree diverts while maintaining conveying speed and product orientation, ensuring accurate routing without sacrificing throughput. Designed for industry-leading rates, the system minimizes maintenance complexity and downtime while offering energy-efficient operation. This robust, easy-to-maintain design makes the Wheel Divert an ideal choice for facilities seeking reliable performance and long-term operational efficiency.
