GEBHARDT SpeedSorter® loop
Maximise Efficiency With Automated Sorting
The GEBHARDT SpeedSorter® is a high-performance sortation system designed to efficiently handle a wide variety of products, including totes, cartons, packets, polybags, and paper bags. Its speed and precision ensure that orders are processed accurately, even during high-volume periods with tight deadlines.
Tailored for manufacturers and distributors, the SpeedSorter® enhances the efficiency of incoming goods, order picking, and dispatch. It features a continuous loop of cross-belt modules with multiple infeeds and diverging chutes. Items are automatically loaded onto the loop and scanned by barcode scanners. Based on preset criteria, such as destination, the items are then ejected onto the appropriate chute for collection by employees, who can prepare them for shipping or storage.
With its modular, "plug and play" design, the SpeedSorter® can be easily expanded to support business growth. Backed by the GEBHARDT Galileo IoT® Platform for continuous monitoring and predictive maintenance, the system ensures exceptional reliability and minimal downtime, making it ideal for high-demand sectors such as e-commerce and post and parcel services.

Improve Throughput and Accuracy
The GEBHARDT SpeedSorter® loop is the fastest sorter in our portfolio. It not only automates internal transport and sorting but also helps streamline operations by connecting various work areas. With its direct connection to order management software, the SpeedSorter® eliminates human error and ensures high accuracy. The solution also features an additional chute for handling unrecognized items with faulty barcodes. Its speed and precision make it ideal for the post and parcel sector, as well as e-commerce operations, where small order sizes and fast delivery expectations—such as same-day or next-day delivery—are common.
High Availability and Reliability
Unlike manual sorting, the GEBHARDT SpeedSorter® loop operates continuously to maximise productivity. It features a robust mechanical drive and ejection modules, all supported by IoT software. The GEBHARDT Galileo IoT® Platform provides continuous condition monitoring and collects real-time data for predictive maintenance. This allows users to track the health of the sorter’s components, enabling proactive maintenance scheduling to prevent significant downtime. Additionally, the system’s innovative chain design eliminates the need for manual re-tensioning. The sorter also operates quietly, ensuring minimal disruption.
Greater Flexibility and Scalability
The GEBHARDT SpeedSorter® loop is built with flexibility in mind. Its modular, plug-and-play design allows for easy expansion and quick commissioning. Once installed, the system requires minimal configuration for deployment. The modular design also enables the addition of chutes, infeeds, inclines, and declines without significant costs. This not only reduces downtime but also ensures the solution can grow with the business, providing long-term support as the company expands.
