The trays, which are lined up at short intervals, still have the standard dimensions of 650 x 450 millimetres; however, they have a low edge and support points at the front and rear so that they can accommodate a wider range of conveyed goods, including round and cylindrical packages up to 900 millimetres in length. This type of design facilitates the automatic loading of the sorting system, as each tray combination can be used individually, as a double or even as a triple tray as required.

The use of a double tray has already proven its worth in the classic Denisort system, for example for 3PL or CEP services that have to sort bulky parcels and freight items. In this case, however, the layout of requires precise definition of which trays are combined to form a double. This requirement does not apply to the smaller "brother" Denisort Compact, as this system variant of the tilt tray sorter does not include curves or inclines per se. In this case, the Ferag engineers were therefore able to go one step further and design the shells in such a way that they form a continuous carpet of shells.

The described modification, which Ferag offers every customer as an option, results in decisive advantages, especially for order fulfillment applications: The sequence of single or double loading can be freely selected. The user can optimally sort parcels with extremely different dimensions and geometries in a colorful mix and in any order on a single system. And regardless of whether the goods being conveyed are cartons or polybags. It is also much easier to link the new Denisort Compact version to an automatic feed station. The reason for this is obvious: the system no longer has to identify each double tray as such, but can now use any combination of trays.

Denisort Compact has established itself with many e-commerce companies that require flexible technology to increase their sorting performance in incoming goods, outbound areas or returns management within a very short space of time. With its latest innovation, Ferag has equipped the system perfectly for the future, as more and more customers are ordering the modular vertical sorter from the Zurich Oberland in conjunction with an automatic feeding station.
