A method and apparatus for sorting articles to a delivery point sequence includes at least one sortation assembly adapted to sort articles and a buffer. The buffer is operable to arrange and convey containers of articles sorted in a first sort pass to an induct of the at least one sortation assembly for a second sort pass or process of the articles. The buffer automatically arranges the containers in an arranged manner prior to conveying the containers and articles to the induct of the at least one sortation assembly for the second sort process. The second sort process is then performed to sort the articles to a delivery point sequence or carrier walk sequence depth of sort. A conveyor assembly may be operable to convey containers to an appropriate one of multiple sortation assemblies and/or buffers to increase the sequencing matrix capability of the apparatus.

L'invention concerne un procédé et un appareil permettant de trier des envois postaux pour les envoyer vers une séquence de points de distribution. Cet appareil comprend au moins un ensemble de tri conçu pour trier des envois postaux ainsi qu'un tampon. Le tampon sert à arranger et à amener les conteneurs d'envois postaux triés dans un premier passage de tri vers une section d'identification dudit ensemble de tri afin de procéder à un second passage de tri ou traitement des envois. Le tampon ordonne automatiquement les conteneurs avant d'amener les conteneurs et les envois vers la section d'identification de l'ensemble de tri afin de procéder à un second tri, lequel permet trier les envois pour les envoyer vers une séquence de points de distribution où le tri est effectué de façon approfondie. Un ensemble transporteur peut servir à transporter les conteneurs vers un ensemble de tri et/ou un tampon approprié de plusieurs ensembles de tri et/ou tampons afin d'accroître la capacité de la matrice de séquençage de l'appareil.
