A sortation system and method of inducting product are useful with a sorter having a continuous member defining a plurality of transport positions of the continuous member and a plurality of sort destinations for receiving product discharged from the continuous member. At least one induction unit is provided including a plurality of tandem conveying units. Product is received with the at least one induction unit from a product source and discharged from the at least one induction unit to the continuous member. According to one aspect of the invention, the at least one induction unit follows the speed of the continuous member. This includes starting as soon as the continuous member is moving and decreasing in speed substantially only when the continuous member decreases in speed. The invention is useful with linear sorters, such as positive displacement sorters, and the like. The invention is also useful with carrousel sorters, such as tilt-tray sorters and cross-belt sorters.
L'invention concerne un système de tri ainsi qu'un procédé d'admission de produit, utiles dans un dispositif de triage comprenant un élément continu définissant plusieurs positions de transport de cet élément continu ainsi que plusieurs destinations de triage, destinées à recevoir le produit déchargé à partir de l'élément continu. Au moins une unité d'admission comprend plusieurs unités d'admission en tandem. Le produit est reçu à l'aide d'au moins une unité d'admission, à partir d'une source de produits, et déchargé à partir de cette unité, en direction de l'élément continu. Dans un aspect de l'invention, ladite unité d'admission suit la vitesse de l'élément continu, ce qui implique son démarrage dès la mise en marche de l'élément continu, et son ralentissement seulement lorsque l'élément continu diminue sa vitesse. L'invention est utile dans des dispositifs de triage linéaires, tels que des trieuses par déplacement, et analogue. Elle est également utile avec des dispositifs de triage du type tourniquet, tels que des trieuses à plateaux basculants et des trieuses à bandes croisées.
