Building on the success of the best-selling Prorunner mk5 lift, Nedpack has also developed a solution for vertical sorting. This vertical sorter carries any load to the desired level, regardless of its contents. The main advantage of this solution is its small footprint.
The Prorunner mk5 is an extremely compact solution for vertical sorting between different floors of a warehouse or distribution center. Whether you need to transport a box or a crate from the 3ème to the 2ème floor, or from the 1er to the 3ème: the Prorunner mk5 picks up the product wherever necessary and delivers it to the desired level. The Prorunner mk5 consists of a flexible, multilateral lift, complemented by an intelligent control system. Even before the sorter picks up a box or a crate, the barcode or RFID tag of that load is automatically scanned.
The software that controls the lift assigns the load to an empty carrier and determines the exact moment of induction. This same software then ensures that the rollers or the selected output conveyor carry the load exactly to the desired level and position it at the right moment between the forks of the load carrier. The Prorunner mk5 can sort not only from one input conveyor to several output conveyors, but also from several input conveyors to several output conveyors.
There is no need to install complex systems with lifts, curves and output conveyors on every floor. The saving in floor space is an additional advantage. The Prorunner mk5 takes up the space of a simple lift, no more, no less. Investment costs are also on a par with those of a simple lift, and therefore very limited. The Prorunner mk5 has a modular design.
More load carriers can simply be added to increase capacity; in this way, up to 2000 movements per hour can be achieved. Thanks to its patented design, all products are transported horizontally throughout their journey, which prevents any deformation. In addition, the Prorunner mk5 is extremely flexible. Loads can enter and leave the system in three directions, without any special adaptation. The entry and exit directions can even be different on each floor.
