The Swing Arm Sorter system, exemplified by models like the Ginfon GF BBF series, provides an efficient, high-precision, and notably cost-effective automation solution for item sortation. The system utilizes pivoting arms (swing arms) positioned alongside the main conveyor line. When an item (suitable types include cartons, woven bags, parcels, and other relatively stable or shaped articles) reaches its predetermined destination, the corresponding arm activates, swinging out to decisively push the item laterally onto the designated collection lane or chute.
Key advantages of the Swing Arm Sorter include its high durability, very low operational failure rate, and stable, fatigue-free performance due to its all-electric drive mechanism. Compared to manual sorting matrices, this system offers significant labor cost savings (potentially replacing 100-200 personnel depending on the scale, with each arm replacing one person) and eliminates the uncertainties associated with human resources. It is a mature and proven automation solution, widely adopted, particularly suitable for processing centers needing to enhance sorting productivity for common items like cartons, parcels, and woven bags within a reasonable investment budget. (Note: This system is not suitable for sorting ultra-thin items such as envelopes or file bags).
