Scorpion Sortation System
- Related Product Suite -

 

Since 1973, Mantissa Corporation has been a leading provider of innovative material handling technology. With this experience and more than 25 patents, the Mantissa Scorpion sorter has been engineered to ensure fast, quiet, accurate operation - establishing a new standard in high speed sortation.

Mantissa's Scorpion Sorters can be built to sort shirts, shoes, books, boxes, baggage, and much more.

How does the Scorpion Work?

Product is placed, either manually or automatically, onto trays of the sorter. Responding to thousands of independent, real-time computer commands every second, the sorter transports each item to its predetermined chute destination. The tray then discharges, allowing product to slide down the chute for further processing.

There are eight major components of the Scorpion sorter:

What materials can you convey and sort?

Well, what materials do YOU need to sort? What are your maximum and minimum product dimensions and a rough weight approximation? What's the floor plan of the facility?

Our representatives will ask many questions to help us determine what would best serve your sorting needs. Using this information we can design and build your sorter.

Many of the components included in a Mantissa Scorpion ® Sortation System are covered by one or more of the following Patents: #5,220,986 #5,372,234 #4,984,674 #D361,709 #5,649,617 #5,836,436 #6,003,656 #6,009,992 #6,050,390 #6,095,314 #6,112,879 #6,158,568 #6,206,170 #6,298,975 #6,367,610 #6382392 B1 #6,715,599. More patents are pending and some are being invented today!
