Scorpion Tilt-Tray

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 tilt-tray sorter has been engineered to ensure fast, quiet, accurate operation, establishing an all new standard in high-speed tilt-tray sortation. Shirts and shoes, books, boxes, baggage and more.

How it works

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

There are eight major components of the Scorpion tilt-tray sorter. They are the drive system modules, carriers, tilt modules, trays, TipLocs TM, tray straighteners, track and supports.
