Upgrade to RFID laundry technology

Sortech has a simple and reliable design to ensure non-stop production and affordable maintenance for all laundries working with RFID technology. Among other advantages, Sortech has multiple visual aids to reduce downtime, access for easy maintenance and touch screens for easy interaction. A 100% configurable solution with different sorting options and the ability to detect and set aside items containing dangerous objects or items with defective RFID chips.

Sortech offers tailor configurations and layouts to match diverse production requirements.

A Sortech system with two picking stations connected to a single sorting lane can achieve productivity levels of up to 1,800 pieces/hour, equivalent to the output of two operators per shift. 

Additionally, Sortech incorporates visual aids to minimize downtimes and maximize productivity.

In an environment where finding staff is increasingly challenging, prioritize the well-being of your operators by automating complex and demanding tasks, such as sorting soiled linen. 

Sortech prevents direct operator contact with contaminated items, elevating safety and hygiene standards.

Moreover, Sortech can be equipped with a scanner to identify garments containing dangerous items, further enhancing safety protocols.

Sortech machine clamps picking up an item

Contrary to complex designs with expensive components, Sortech features a simple design with common and standard components, ensuring quick and cost-effective maintenance.

This is easily seen in the picking stations, which have been designed with simple and effective mechanical guides for the clamps, supported by a mechanical pusher at the bottom to guarantee the presence of the garments at the clamps' pick-up point. This eliminates the need to maintain and calibrate complex components such as cameras or axis with 3 degrees of freedom.

Multiple access points and drawers facilitate seamless maintenance procedures.
