The horizontal Push Tray Sorter handles small to large, light to heavy items without effort Thanks to the innovative technology, items are sorted safely and reliable. The use of ascending and descending sections allows almost any line layout.
The Push Tray Sorter offers impressive performance and efficiency, enabling fast and reliable sorting even with large quantities of goods. Thanks to its flexibility, the Push Tray Sorter can handle a wide range of product sizes, from small parcels to larger goods. The Push Tray Sorter works particularly quietly, which contributes to a pleasant working environment and minimizes noise pollution. Both single part sorting and outgoing goods sorting are no problem thanks to the flexibility of the system.

Flexibility
The modular design enables rapid expansion and adaptation of the existing system.
Robust
The mechanical components of the Push Tray Sorter are made of high-quality materials that ensure a long service life and high load capacity.
Easy to maintain
Due to the robust mechanics and the use of durable materials, maintenance requirements are minimal.
The modular design enables short implementation times, combined with fast availability of a new system. If requirements change, the Push Tray Sorter system can be adapted and expanded easily, quickly and safely. The individual modular elements can be assembled flexibly in order to implement a routing that suits the conditions and requirements. The Push Tray Sorter’s flexibility makes it the ideal solution for a wide range of requirements.
Thanks to the gentle product handling of the Push Tray Sorter, even the most delicate items can be sorted safely and without damage. Target points in a wide variety of designs are the ideal addition. These target points can be arranged on both sides of the sorter, allowing goods to be dispensed flexibly and safely. For maximum flexibility, 3 different tray sizes are available so that the perfect solution can be used depending on the product.
The precise and controlled induction of individual products is the basis for the following sorting process. The latest sensor technology and perfectly coordinated control systems ensure that goods are conveyed precisely and reliably to their intended destinations. This ensures even distribution and minimizes the risk of traffic jams or damage, even at the highest throughput rates.
The DFT Condition Monitoring Center offers comprehensive and intelligent services to maximize the operational readiness of your systems. Through innovative data analysis and continuous monitoring, performance fluctuations and potential damage to your systems can be detected and rectified at an early stage. This reduces unplanned downtime and minimizes maintenance costs in the long term.

We offer you the option of customizing the system you purchase from us to match your brand identity. Select your corporate color during the ordering process so that selected components of the system are already painted in your brand color during production. You can also integrate your logo into the system design. It is possible to laser your logo into individual parts of the system on certain components. This special design option connects your brand with the system and strengthens your visibility and brand identity.
The horizontal push tray sorter from DFT is a sorting system for flat items in which the trays circulate horizontally through the system. At the designated destination, a mechanically triggered pusher gently pushes the item sideways out of the tray and into a chute, a container, or another appropriate destination.
DFT’s horizontal push tray sorter sorts items by transporting them on circulating trays and precisely diverting them to the left or right at the defined destination using a mechanical pusher.
The items are loaded onto the trays at one or more loading stations, identified, and matched with the respective tray. During transport, the KiSoft WCS control software continuously tracks the position of each individual item and its associated tray.
The trays move through the system on a horizontal sorting line. When a tray reaches its destination, the mechanical pusher located on the tray is activated by a permanently installed trigger unit. The pusher pushes the item in a controlled and repeatable manner from the tray’s surface into a chute, a container, or onto a downstream conveyor. Depending on the system layout, discharge can occur on either side of the sorter.
After discharge, the tray continues on its path and is immediately available for the next loading cycle.
DFT’s horizontal push tray sorter is characterized by its high layout flexibility and modular design. The system is based on standardized straight sections, curves, switches, and destination stations that can be combined in any configuration. This allows the sorter to be precisely adapted to the spatial conditions and process requirements of a distribution center.
Thanks to the closed-loop system, both straight routes and complex curved layouts, as well as multi-level system designs, can be implemented. Multiple loading areas (inducts) and destination stations can be integrated into the system at various positions, allowing different material flows to be consolidated within a single system.
The horizontal configuration is particularly suitable when multiple feeding stations, flexible material flows, or a three-dimensional route are required. It is also a good choice when sorting destinations are to be located on the left and right sides of the system.
The horizontal configuration can be adapted to changing requirements and scaled up, for example, by adding additional Induct zones or sorting destinations. Thanks to the modular design, the route layout and control system can also be tailored to new processes and material flows on a project-by-project basis without having to rebuild the basic system. The specific scope of the expansion depends on the existing layout and operational conditions.
