Sortation is a crucial step in the tire manufacturing process.
UMD non-contact sortation utilizes Intralox dual-stacked angled roller belt (DARB) with our transfer activation unit, creating a precise lateral movement each and every time.
Non-contact handling minimizes chances for tire uniformity issues during sortation, reducing scrap while maintaining product quality. This makes it a great application for fragile green tires.
DARB technology can incorporate left and right tire sorting and merging, allowing the sorting points to be located directly across the conveyor from each other. This also provides the ability to convey products perpendicularly across the DARB conveyor.
