CASE STUDIES

Following the construction of this e-commerce retailers new Jacksonville, FL distribution center, TriFactor designed and installed a sort system to accommodate the customer’s system requirement for the capability to sort 12,000 packages an hour. This system consisted of (4) areas; unloading, primary sort, small sort and run-outs.

The conveyor system distributes the inbound packages to each of the associate workstations. The unloader area consists of a large platform where eight telescopic extendible belts interface with each of their respective incline belts.

A small sort area includes the use of two automatic gaylord dumpers, each dumping lightweight and small packages to a custom designed manual sort table where associates separate the packages in to four different narrow belted conveyors.

The run-out lines convey the packages to their final destination within the facility, which is a manual pallet building station where built pallets are then loaded on to trucks for outbound delivery to either Amazon’s parcel delivery station or to their contracted parcel carrier.

The result of this project is the customer now has the ability to sort 12,000 packages per day, enhancing the quality of their local delivery service.
